This reminds me of a certain scene in a Scottish comedy called Still Game, where one of the characters fished out a TV from a skip as part of an insurance fraud scheme :P Back on topic though, I've seen relatively new TVs, whether "smart" or just regular, thrown out in the street and still in pristine condition. Maybe the owners of them are as clueless as the ones mentioned in the OP :-// |
