While at the dump the other day, i was digging in the bin (this means leaning over to see what you can reach or using a long pole to hook out, or even some times if it's full enough getting one of the boys to jump in and grab quickly some thing good - all this has to be done with watchfull eye's as this is a non-seller recycle centre - the head office peps don't like the back handers going on and staff can get fired
so i saw this and saved it - 5th Gen i-pod - turned it on - yup works - next try the dial - yup works - press play - no

the thing just jumped through each song within seconds
![Frown](http://community.groupee.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_frown.gif)
well i thought that i would plug it in to the laptop and see if any thing could be done ?
cleared and reset it with latest version of apple i-pod
loaded up my songs (1500+)
ok to disconect
and press play
![Big Grin](http://community.groupee.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif)
it works
![Wink](http://community.groupee.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_wink.gif)
now i have another i-pod tio run through my boxes and best of all, it was FREE
![Cool](http://community.groupee.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_cool.gif)
so it leads me to the next point of why people just throw things away without even trying to fix it

it had all his photo's on there - one was of him naked

showed the girlfriend and she said he used to go to the same collage years ago - why did he not delete them or destroy the i-pod
![Roll Eyes](http://community.groupee.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_rolleyes.gif)
like most things that get thrown away - no one trys to fix it - my 9494 came the same way - free and allfully working, so now i can run my free i-pod through it
![Wink](http://community.groupee.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_wink.gif)
any one that thinks that they would never dig in the bins for item's - just think what gets chucked away without a thought

![Laugh Out Loud](http://www.kittmaster.com/emo/smilielol5.gif)

![Roll Eyes](http://community.groupee.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_rolleyes.gif)

Hey BC, do you live next to a dump or something? you seem to be at the dump or going through the trash a lot.

Although with the stuff you've been finding, I don't blame you one bit...

i do gardening for age concern and have to get rid of all the garden rubbish - so it works out sweetly - that way if the top dogs are there, i just dropping off and they can't do any thing about it
![Wink](http://community.groupee.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_wink.gif)
the other thing is you have to check weekly if you can before others/ before it's crushed, or rained on
belive me a lot of boxes, that you buy on ebay come from dumps and the same with bmx's - price will go up 3 to 4 time what they pay - think about that

Hes doing the "inside job" thing.
Shhhhh...
That's amazing! iPods are so expensive to buy, even second-hand ones.
