Toxie vs The Rusted News Box!
A metal news box leaned against the curb. Rusted orange. Neglected. Someone jammed an old rusted pipe clamp tight over the front door latch. Unacceptable. I planted my boots on the cracked concrete. Slid the wooden mop handle between the clamp and the heavy steel frame. Leaned my weight into it. One hard shove. Snap. The corroded clamp popped clean off. The door dropped open with a squeak. Inside was dry. No garbage. Resting on the bottom shelf was a heavy chrome socket wrench head. Solid metal. Not a speck of rust. I wiped the box latch clean with the mop strands and took the chrome socket. Good find.
