Honest (maybe ignorant) question: how do you get PVC pipe with a magnet?

When we pull the magnets in they drag across the floor and sometimes pull other items up with it like PVC, rugs, clothes, etc

A friend drunkenly threw a brand new Cat’s Eye Pub t shirt in the harbor in, I think 2010? Let me know if you find my shirt!

Very cool! If you find something like a scooter that belonged to the city or one of those rental places, do you have to notify or give it back to them? Or do you get to keep anything you find as salvage?

Edit: Ah I see in another response you said scooters are reported.

What about if you find a weapon - I assume you have to report that too?

Scooters, bikes, furniture, etc fall under abandoned property and technically you can keep them if you want. I've been notifying the scooter companies about the items and they come and get them.

If they're not picked up in a timely manner, /u/bmorecitydot fines them :)

Guns are reported and picked up by the police.

That’s right! Every scooter we have to pick up helps fund projects throughout the city 😊
