It defi itely would be a shame to have to mutilate them, but what better way than under our trucks and buggies? Lol Trust me guys, there will be a few trucks lost in transit if it comes to destroying them. But check this out, i believe there is a grey area here. Taken from the auction listing "All scrap under this contract requires mutilation by the buyer. Mutilation must be witnessed and certified by DOD personnel at another facility. Title to the material does not transfer to buyer until scrap has been mutilated."
For one, it states "all scrap". I see it as these are useable, it doesn't state that the listing "must be scrapped" or "is to be used only as scrap". Second, mutilation must take place at another facility, meaning they would have to track each and every load, which wont happen. Out of 6,000,000 lbs, I'm sure i can "misplace" 150,000 lbs of it (aproximately 100 axles, out of an aproximate 4260 axles), which i could do in 2-3 truckloads...
