I think the suggestion that hobbyists inspect and catalog the property is an
outstanding one...I volunteer to take care of nearby Ft. Campbell.

IMO, this is full of problems and totally unworkable. What is to prevent someone
from describing a vehicle as total junk, and quietly tellng a buddy it's NIB si
it goes at a fire sale price? Absolutely nothing. If this is done on a personal
basis (Hey Fred, please checkout this item for me since it's near you), that's OK
and a good way to screen things, but having hobbyists do official screening and
cataloging is improper as far as I am concerned.

Furthermore, there are problems with the standards the screeners might employ.
One guy might well classify a vehicle with a bad radiator hose as junk, whereas
another screener might only consider a vehicle as junk if it had taken a direct
hit from a Hellfire.

Just my $.02. Flame away. I have a delete key.
