oh I'd love to have a snorkel ... one day, the guy who owned the LR dealership in St John's had an old series 1 with a snorkel - then he bought himself a Defender - I think he only had the dealership to justify his 'toys'

Three other possibilities, which you don't now need.
1~ bury it in the yard.
2~ put a little in your trash each week, although that would take forever.
3~ put the boxes on the curb with a sign, For Sale $300, and wait for it to be stolen.

Good ideas. Nowhere to bury it here but I do use those super heavy Contractor trash bags for a lot of stuff. We tore out all of the sheetrock in the kitchen, walls and ceilings and I cut and broke it up and bagged it and each trash day put out 3-4 bags and pretty soon it was all gone. The trick is to not make them too heavy or have nails sticking out of the bags. I also took all of the wood scraps, molding and 2x4s I wasn't going to reuse as well as most of the upper cabinets plywood parts that we tore out and burned them in the fireplace over the winter on the cold nights. Made an awfully hot and bright fire!

And yes, people do take the funniest things out on the curb but probably not cement items. I once put a heavy steel auto floor jack that had a broken pump out on the curb and it was gone within a few hours.

We have a junk man who drives around on trash day in an old pick-up truck and he picks up all big metal items out of people's trash. I'm sure it's for scrap value. It must be worth his time and gas, but I can't imagine how.
