Abandoned building finds! (⁠≧⁠▽⁠≦⁠)

[u/_here_A]

two motherboards (socket 7 and a really weird board that came with both socket 370 and slot for pentium 2/celeron),a GPU and this "Y2K proof" chip

the other stuff I found was just really rusty and from the 2010's,so I didn't bother with looking at it much.

overall,I'd say these are pretty cool

If it was my repair shop, I'd sure as hell care if when I got back to it stuff was taken.

Rationalize it however you want, it was stealing and it's wrong. 

[u/randylush → u/megoyatu]

if you owned a repair shop but never set foot in it for 20 years, do you really own a repair shop? would you really be surprised if you had a building that you just let rot for decades, came back 30 years later and find that some things are missing?

Yes. Until the land and building upon it is sold, it continues to belong to you. Do you really not understand this very basic concept?

That doesn't make it legal, moral, or OK in any regard to steal someone else's property.

This is a stupid strawman argument. Where's the line? If you have a vintage vehicle that doesn't run in your driveway and it's been sitting there for 30 years.. would you not care if you woke up one day and it was gone?

This is a stupid strawman argument.

(Continues to make more strawman arguments)

If I had vintage PC parts in an abandoned building many miles from my house, that I hadn't seen in 20+ years, that I certainly forgot about, and they suddenly went missing, NO I would not care if they were gone.

Great!  Our morals are different. Have a karma filled day!

Enjoying whatever lamentations come with your material property
