return them to the place of finding, they could belong to a person who was not expecting his or her (excuse me for not originally having the "or her" in my post, it was sexist of me) items to be stolen
[QUOTE=Relys;20847775]Either OP is going to jail or he's going to get knock off by the local gang.[/QUOTE] That's if he gets caught.
[QUOTE=Klownox;20847790]That's if he gets caught.[/QUOTE] which he most likely will, after all, he did say he went around the neighborhood and asked people if they knew about the boxes.
[QUOTE=Beardy;20847793]which he most likely will, after all, he did say he went around the neighborhood and asked people if they knew about the boxes.[/QUOTE] As well as having this nice forum post right here.

I bet :20bux: that there's drugs hidden somewhere in them.
[QUOTE=Beardy;20847793]which he most likely will, after all, he did say he went around the neighborhood and asked people if they knew about the boxes.[/QUOTE] If nobody claims it(a proper, verified claim) after a certain amount of time(6 months here, If I remember correctly), it's his to keep.
[QUOTE=Klownox;20847813]If nobody claims it(a proper, verified claim) after a certain amount of time(6 months here, If I remember correctly), it's his to keep.[/QUOTE] Exactly. Also, this just goes to show, don't pick up random crap off the street or in an alley. Yea, it might have gotten ruined, but it probably had some form or warranty.
OP, take a picture of the alley where you found these from
sir, do you realize there is a very real chance of you being [b]murdered[/b] for these items? the chance is there, yes. do you want to die/be severely injured?
In all honesty, though, you should keep them. Search them for drugs first :eng101: If anybody actually gets a $1000 order left outside, they are so stupid they shouldn't actually be entitled to their purchase. They deserve to have it stolen; if you didn't do it, they would have either been destroyed, or somebody else would have swiped them anyways. Ask around a bit more, then sell them or keep them. But in all honesty, search them for drugs. That's pretty odd that somebody would just dump something like that in a residential alleyway.
To those doubting that I went around asking people, do you really think my parents would let me bring in a 1000 piece of equipment without being even slightly concerned?
[QUOTE=yyy;20847875]sir, do you realize there is a very real chance of you being [b]murdered[/b] for these items? the chance is there, yes. do you want to die/be severely injured?[/QUOTE] Something tells me that if they'd go as far as to kill for it, they'd ask if he had it first.
i suggest you at least write down your last wishes if you choose to keep these items
[QUOTE=^0mKTank;20847910]Something tells me that if they'd go as far as to kill for it, they'd ask if he had it first.[/QUOTE] Something tells me if they'd go as far as to kill for it, it would have to be very, very important; thus would not have been left out in a rainy alleyway in broad daylight.

[editline]07:43AM[/editline] [QUOTE=yyy;20847937]they could be mentally deranged or perhaps a nice stranger could notice an item and have a condition which causes him to go into a blind rage upon sight of said item[/QUOTE] Ok.
[QUOTE=someguyihate;20847898]To those doubting that I went around asking people, do you really think my parents would let me bring in a 1000 piece of equipment without being even slightly concerned?[/QUOTE] Not saying I doubt you, but for the sake of argument: Just because your parents let you bring it in does not mean you actually walked around and asked about it (Not saying you didn't). For that matter, it also doesn't mean your parents care about you asking around, in the case that they would rather sell it. Edit: And as others have said, that's not much money, especially considering the trouble it could cause you.
[QUOTE=hypno-toad;20847947]Oh no, $495 is hardly a jackpot at all! [/QUOTE] $495 is pocket change. especially considering he stole it, in essence. Just to be safe I'd check back in a day or two to see if they really didn't want it, then by all means, take it.
[QUOTE=The Ripper;20847973]$495 is pocket change. especially considering he stole it, in essence. [/QUOTE] What? That's half of what the sticker says, and it's still a lot of money. Also, those other speakers are worth $170
you'll feel sorry when you are horribly killed
[QUOTE=hypno-toad;20848011]What? That's half of what the sticker says, and it's still a lot of money. Also, those other speakers are worth "$170"[/QUOTE] Your point being? The sticker said $995, I posted an amazon link saying it wasn't. You are a sad, strange little man.
Fucking hell you lucky. Although you may be in shit with a gang now.
If you don't sell it, you'll feel bad about not getting money.
[QUOTE=yyy;20848018]you'll feel sorry when you are horribly killed[/QUOTE] How could he feel sorry if he's dead? [editline]07:52AM[/editline] [QUOTE=The Ripper;20848024]Your point being? The sticker said $995, I posted an amazon link saying it wasn't. You are a sad, strange little man.[/QUOTE] [I]You just said[/I] it's "pocket change." In the real world that I live in, that's slang for "worthless." 650 dollars for doing nothing is hardly "pocket change"
excuse me you'll feel sorry moments before you are horribly killed
Don't sell it, become a DJ.
I will keep them for a couple weeks, tomorrow in my free time I'll go around the neighborhood asking about them
