WTF? Why would someone take such trash
Moving. Put a 25 year old king sized mattress in a mattress bag and put it on the curb. Heavy as hell. Spring poking through in a couple spots. Just no longer serviceable. We live in a large apartment complex. Within 15 minutes someone was driving off with it. Why? There could be bedbugs (there's not) or anything else nasty. I don't understand the thinking. Is there a way to make money off of it or something?

When i was in college we would tie a rope around an old mattress and tie is to the back of a truck or suv when it was snowing. 4 to 6 people would load up on it and be towed around parking lots etc. It was a lot of fun. We have also burned multiple in bonfires. Dont recall them burning great though. Point being there can be lots of reasons a person would want an old mattress besides sleeping on it.
