I just picked up someone else's box from the roadside trash to add to my collection.

Great idea. Now you have to sneak it into the house without the wife knowing

"Whatcha got there?"

"Nothing, just some cables."

"More cables? Don't we have enough? Where did those come from?"

"Nowhere, just found'em"

"Found'em where?"

"Just around"

"Around where?"

"By...some trash."

"Are you trash picking tech again? I told you, we have enough junk, we don't need to collect other people's junk, too!"
