$50 Fridge

I think im back on track with blogger now but it has had a few problems which i cant answer. The damned thing would only print my title but not my blog.....anyways, here it goes.

The other day i was listening to the radio and the presenter said that he had a call earlier from a guy who said that he had been attempting to get rid of a fridge.

Apparently, this guy was moving home and didnt have any space for his old fridge at his new place. He therefore placed it outside his garden gate with a sign on it that said 'Fridge-Free please take'. The fridge stayed there for 4 days and no one took the fridge!

The guy was now getting desperate to get rid of the fridge (which was apparently in good working order). A mate of his came up with a suggestion. So that day he replaced the sign on the fridge with a new sign that read 'Fridge-Only $50'

Within 3 hours, someone had stolen it!!!


Arent people interesting.

OMG That's hilarious! No one wants anything free, but put a price on it, and it's worth stealing. This is good to know.

That is pretty funny. Though I thought you could get into trouble for putting a fridge outside. Imagine if a small child was playing and decided to hide in there? That would have been awful. I wouldn't risk putting a fridge outside!

LOL! That's priceless! Here in my town, you're only allowed to put 2 big appliances out for the trash each year. Any more and the town charges you to haul it away.

That is hysterical. Similar thing... at work the bosses will sometimes cater meals if we are all really swamped. The ONLY time people complain about the food in our building is when it's FREE! Makes me so mad.

Wow. How do you walk away with a fridge? Isn't it kind of bulky (to say the least)?
