i agree, i live in new hampshire. and everything is usually done by computer up here and im still yet to find a 300, q45, s13, s14 in a junk yard in new hampshire, maine, or mass. ive called numerous places and non of them. and if they had one, it was like years before.

lmao thats funny man.^^ i personally never had any issues around where i live. IN matter in fact, all the yards are low key and first come first serve. I dont like the ones that are computer based. One yard wont let me take parts without paying first.(over priced) I have like 3 yards that i can pull things like crazy and is so cheap! maybe i never get hassled becuase i myself am a mexican...

On a good note i once lost my wallet at a yard and somebody found it and gave it to the owner and got it back. Sooo a good experience for me...great ppl around my area. Oh btw everything was there and i never carry cash unless i am going out somewhere that only accepts cash.

damn that's jacked up what a bunch of assholes. I've never had anything like that happen usually if people see that I'm grabbing some parts they will come up to me and ask if I intend on taking a part they are interested in.

never had any problems at the yards here in LA most of the time people respect you if your already on a particular part on the car. In fact when I see people on a car already I usually move on to other cars and come back later. Sometimes they may be going after stuff and not even realize they are missing things. Do not need to alert them to stuff they are missing then they will want to claim it.

i get that shit all the time here. i was at pick your part a few months ago and i saw a nice set of 17's. so i show up early the next day to get them. im just busting off the wheel locks when i see some other guy trying to take off the other side. being pretty fluent and removeing wheels locks with now key..i get 3 off and he is still on his one. he stops and looks at me and hes like "uhhh i kinjda had my name a number on these" he had actually written his name on them.... so i say tough luck buddy. and he fucks off. but before he left he took a center cap with him so i guess he could really stick it to me. some people really need to grow up.

lol,
If you see 3 rims on a car, you can usually find the other stashed on a car near by.

thats how I got my rims, lol.
Someone was coming back with money or tools, but did tn get back in time.lol

but if someones on a car. i just ask them if they are taking the part im looking for, and if they arent then i ask if they mind if I have at it.

i totally agree, i would have waited for metro to leave, then waited for that guy who took the parts, then beat his ass and took them back.

i was at a junkyard today. came across a 99 maxima, spanish guy pulling stuff from the interior.

i checked out the brakes and started pulling them and we both just went about our business. not even a glance. looking back maybe i shouldve asked but he didnt say or do anything when i started popping calipers off so ohwell.

then i went back across the yard to get the altima rotors i was tired of carrying out of a trunk i stashed them in.

Never had a run in with a person like that. That shits lame..........

Junkyard I still go to fucked me back in the day. I used to go there to get turbos (back in 98-00) T3, T3 super 60s T25 and whatever else I could sell. I used to sell them on ebay and make 50 to 200 profit on them. I used to walk out of there with 4 to 5 turbos a month then one day went in and found every new car coming in the lot that was turbo had the manifolds torched off and turbos were gone. Never saw a turbo in there for another year or so so I stopped looking. Now I just try to find goofy shit I can use or shit I know im going to need in the future.

Never had a problem like that around here. Usually, if someone's already at the car, I'll make some small talk and get around to seeing if they're picking a part I want. Sometimes I wont. People will speak up you you're trying to get something they wanted. No problem, they were there first.

One rule that I always stick to when I'm at the 'yard: Never let anyone borrow tools. I'm a nice dude that used to let people borrow some tools until one time when some guy didn't return a good pair of vicegrips. Ever since then, I never loan out tools. I usually say I'm using them or I don't have them. I learned my lesson.

I usually hit up the 2 San Jose pick-in-pulls, and so far *knock on wood* everything's been ok. I've ran into some really helpful people actually. And have yet to get haggled on getting checked before I leave the place.

Never had any problems, i usually do a walk around the lot to see what they have before taking parts off a car.. If someone is already at a car, usually the walk around will give them enough time to be done with that car.

Just sucks when people break shit just to get to a part. esp interior plastics and trim pieces..

dang that sucks for you. i've never had a problem at a junk yard. in fact i've had people help me take off parts, borrow tools. i've also helped people. but i always ask if they mind if i take off a certain part if some one is already at a car, and people usually ask me if they can get a part if i'm at a car already. probably also helps that i'm latin and speak spanish and i look like a drug dealer. lol

i've felt like i've been tailed before. probably to steal tools, as i have come home with a lighter tool bag before.

always watch your tools, always use the buddy system, and you won't have problems.

oh and one time a dude kept trying to sell me a gold chain in the parking lot. also some guy borrowed my duct tape on the way in, and said he'd put it under my car. no duct tape when i came back. mother FUCKER.
