They pulled the same crap here. The local "garage" was flooded and they 
told him to scrap his lift, used oil burner (mounted on the ceiling!)
A FULL toolbox and a bunch of other stuff that was steel or a simple 
cleaning would take care of. I grabbed a bunch of it, cleaned it and put 
it to use. Including the toolbox. Took about 6 days to clean it out and 
salvage the tools but it was worth it.
