He Got Robbed!
The estimated 70,000 empty cans that were recycled for 800 dollars would have been worth in Oregon: 70,000 X .05 cents = 3500 Dollars U.S.
I've gotta show my wife this, she complains about ONE SINGLE CAN in the brush behind the shop from years ago.

This story reminds me of investing advice that was going around in 2002:
Quote:
If you had bought $1000.00 worth of Nortel stock one year ago, it would
now be worth $49.00.
With Enron, you would have $16.50 of the original $1,000.00.
With WorldCom, you would have less than $5.00 left.
If you'd bought $1,000.00 worth of Budweiser (the beer, not the stock) 1 year ago, drank all the beer, then turned in the cans for the 10 cent deposit, you would have $214.00.
Based on the above, my current investment advice is to drink heavily and recycle.

Yeah, ya' know, good thing only teetotallers live there now.
Any empties that you find these days must have been those damn bears drinking behind your shop again.

We get visitors from foreign countries, like Kalifornia. They don't have a clue about our bottle laws and will toss a can in the trash. Besides....... a good can collection insure the ability to buy beer during hard times.

LOL - Usually, this is followed up with the sentence "so I just had to kill her" and a full confession
