I used to be the front-end guy at two different major dealerships. Life was good then for getting lead (and no trash or tobacco spit in the bucket), got a bucket every few months until at the last place it would suddenly disappear after it got about half full. Turns out the service manager had a friend who cast bullets, so the weights above one ounce started going in my pocket every time I did a balance job. Manager cornered me on it one day, I told him with a grin that I just started re-using weights to save him money. Not long after, he tried to force me to do an expensive job and falsify it under warranty and I quit on the spot. Been scrounging ever since, and the engineering of effective bullet traps to recycle it has sort of become its own hobby.
compared to 2 degrees here.....Ahh, but it's a balmy 50 degrees there now.
