Next step:
find a Nexgen complete w/ manuals etc + a BBOX complete w/ manuals etc
If you can do that this means red or blue pill. |

unfortunately in Germany kerbside collections are no longer an annual party but individual by call.
So there's no chance to walk through the city and see what you find.
Furthermore electronic stuff has to be put to the regional junkyard where it is collected for recycling.
And the guys there watch over that stuff as if it was their mates...
So you have to have an open eye all day, you might see a little clutch at the walkway where somebody put electronic devices not knowing or ignoring the regulations

Exactly the same in my area, I could quote you word by word.
As long as it is in the street it's nobody's property anymore, when picked up they are recycling's. |
