Classe Seventy amp found in alley


Sitting in my downtown alley was this Classe Seventy amp. Other than a little bit dirty and having some sort of felt glued all over the top, its condition is good. And after hooking my Dynaco preamp up to it with some average speakers, it works fine. I'm still trying to figure out if I stumbled onto an abandoned, stolen item or maybe it was found in a move-out pile and the scrounger couldn't sell or trade it so he dumped it where I found it. It's kind of heavy. So did I find something desirable?

It's all kinda romantic and patriotic, but I've never seen ANY report on stolen electronic equipment with exact model and especially serial number. So if anyone ever reported stolen amp or any other audio/video components with serial number, please insite me and lemme know.
I thought 911 was for emergencies. Sounds like the system is being misused and people are just getting lazy.
Czarivey, if YOU had your equipment stolen, would YOU give the exact make and model of the equipment? I know that I would. In fact, I would do it with any of my possessions if they were stolen. How else could you identify it as yours? That was all that the OP reported, make and model, not serial number.

To the OP, good for you. You did the right thing and it worked out in your favor and you have a clear conscience.
Sounds like a great policy. Destroy any lost items, even if other people want them.
I know that once a year the Drug Task Force has a big auction for confiscated cars and other items considered ill gotten goods. Surely this could be used to sell other items like lost-and-found stuff. But it's probably just a case of time and money. Things would need to be stored, etc. And most used stereo equipment has little value, of course. Guns (forbidden subject?) are routinely destroyed. Always seems odd that when grandma turns over grandpa's old shotgun (possibly with antique value) they crush it....LOL.
