GameStop Loot!

So, a few days after I got caught by the cops, I decided to go out during my stakeout and check on some other places; an Aldis a few miles from home and a strip mall nearby it. I was unaware there was an Aldis there and was overjoyed, because I love Aldis. I also knew that the Aldis near my old home didn’t have a compactor, so there was a chance. I GPSed that beast, grabbed some gear, and hopped into my car.

As I drove, I thought about the predicament I was in with Palmyra’s rule about stealing. I grabbed my phone, minimized the GPS, and headed into a Turkey Hill to snag a soda. While I was buying my beverage, I googled the laws of the area I would be in and read the regulations and everything about the township’s trash laws. They didn’t mention any issues, so I was in the clear. I got my drink and continued on my way.

I missed the Aldi’s entrance and made an illegal U-turn at the next light and headed back to the lot. I pulled in and creeped through the parking area, scouting for a dumpster. It was well away from parking spots and in a lit up area. I parked, approached, and peeked inside the green box.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen so many blueberries in one place in my life. There had to be close to 30 cartons in the dumpster. Each carton was broken open unfortunately and spilled about the place. Other than that, there was nothing of note. Chalking it up to showing up a day or two after trash pickup, I continued on my way to the Gamestop about a quarter-mile away. I went around the back of the mall and there was a perfect line of dumpsters, maybe 12 in total. I parked and began searching. Cardboard only read the first few, but I looked inside regardless since Gamestop posters were technically cardboard.

Inside the dumpster was nothing but GameStop display art, posters, and large, paper game cases. There were Call of Duty posters, Battlefield 4 posters, GTA 5 posters, and art for several other games. I tossed the lid fully open and climbed up on the side of the dumpster. I didn’t see any way for me to get out if I got in, but I would risk it. Legs swung around and I dropped down inside the metal box. I collected every poster I could get, but alas, there was some water in the corner of the dumpster that had ruined quite a few of them. I cut my loses and took the ones still in good shape. I dropped them over the dumpster wall onto the concrete below and then considered my position; I had never been inside a dumpster that had nothing for me to climb on to get out. I put my hands on the side, gripped it tight, and jumped and pushed. I swung my legs up, over, and dropped onto the ground, all in one fluid motion.

Now, I know this doesn’t sound too impressive, but I’ve been struggling with weight my whole life, ever since I was on some brutal steroid treatments for hormone disorders that started at the age of 8. At this point, I had really been sticking close to the keto diet, following it to the exacts, and managed my business really well. I had began bodyweight workouts and some dumb bell training with 20lbers. I had never been very well at lifting my own weight like that and being able to get in and out of similar situations. So, this was a huge learning experience and motivational ordeal. I was fucking pumped! I grabbed my posters and flew to my car to stash the loot.

The next dumpster was not a cardboard only type, so I wasn’t sure if I would find anything like in the one I had just climbed out of. My doubt was erased when I looked inside and found more posters and game cases out the ass. There was also a really sweet Skylanders display, one of those posters that changes image as you look at it differently. I snagged everything out of there that I could get as some of it was wet also. I loaded my car up and after checking all the rest, I only found a few plastic bottles and the dumpings of a Chinese restaurant. I got in my car and headed home with a huge pile of new posters to decorate my walls with and sell on craigslist as GTA5, CoD Ghosts, and AC4:Black Flag was just coming out.

Here is an imgur gallery of everything that I found that night as it seems a bit easier than putting all the photos into this post. http://imgur.com/a/i2peZ
