abandoned building

In my book (blog) there's not much more fun than exploring abandoned buildings and places. These pics are from that I assume is an abandoned metal fabrication shop. It's right on the corner of 43rd street and Powell avenue. I can ride right up into it, but quickly dismounted 'cause I was clearly in danger of getting a flat tire. There are some ancient metal working machines and welders, all of which look like they are deteriorated well beyond the point where they could be restored. Someone has been cleaning the place out and intentionally leaving these behind, so they must have some plans for them. I also noticed in the very corner it looks like someone is using the place to do some work. I got the feeling that the clock was ticking on someone calling the cops on me, so I took a few quick photos and split. There was all kinds of great scrap steel on the ground. Lots of old wood too. I may have to make a run back there to ask someone if I could gather some of it up for a project. Who I might ask I have no idea. I always feel like there is a fine line as to whether it's stealing or not to just take scrap metal. I suppose if they are planning on selling it as scrap then it would be stealing. If they were just gonna throw it in a dumpster then I guess it would be fine. If it walks like garbage and quacks like garbage, then I call it garbage. Whatever that means.
