[78-L] Collectors and 'hoarders'

I can imagine the reaction of the police in most U.S. cities to a 
report of this crime: "We'll get the milk crate division on the case 
right away! We need something to do, since no other laws are being broken."

On the other hand, with the downturn in the economy cities are 
looking for ways to make up for lost tax revenue. Maybe they'll start 
issuing milk crate permits, and sending out inspectors to fine the 
non-compliant. We can sit on our porches with shotguns across our 
laps, keeping watch for revenooers.

Seriously, I keep most of my records in milk crates. I found a big 
pile of crates once in a spot where people often toss stuff to avoid 
paying the county dump. I've also bought new crates.
