I was driving home from my favorite place yesterday (Dunkin' Donuts) and I saw a used washing machine on the side of the road. Now a lot of people out there do like to go from trash heap to trash heap picking the trash- this washer probably would not be an exception for the avid trash picker. Whether this washer was working or not I could completely see someone picking it up taking the off chance that this machine was in good working condition. HOWEVER, on the side of this white washer, in large red writing was written "I WORK" in spray paint. These words took up the entire right side of the washer. I can bet, that this washer, whether working or not was NOT taken based alone on the fact that the entire side had graffiti all over it.
For all of those that are putting things on the side of the road for the passer by to take-you should most definitely put up a sign advertising it's working condition. Don't completely ruin the physical condition of the item by using red spray paint on it. Trust me, a sign next to it will work just as well and might even coax someone to pick it up.
