About a mile and a half from home

Complain to your city streets department that someone has left trash obstructing the sidewalk and should be fined.

After a month, don't you get scavenger's rights? That solar panel looks useful.

@ardgedee My first thought.

@ardgedee and we have some hardcore scrappers who come through the neighborhood every week on trash day. Now that you mention it, I am shocked it hasn’t been harvested. Maybe the word needs to go out to the region’s pre-eminent crackheads.

If I saw this lying on the ground for part of a week and into the weekend I would have harvested the solar module and battery out of it by EOD Sunday.

anything that blocks wheelchair access for me on a sidewalk is fair game for hitting with a sledgehammer.

Just filed with the city's "Blight Busters" department:

Large piece of electronic waste (e-waste) blocking sidewalk / wheelchair access.

@cristin I've lost count of the number of Lime scooters I've had to move. A sledgehammer sounds like a good idea.

@jpk portable MAPP torches would probably work as well

Drove past today and it was no longer across the sidewalk.

Unfortunately, it was upright and apparently live.

Boo.
