. This isn't how I expected my day to go, that's for sure! I was asked to call the police if a specific suspect showed up, so this is what my afternoon got turned into.

I respect your cat explanation and your integrity.
Silas is such a great guy. We need more people like him. Honest and hard working.
I agree
How would a guy get ahold of him looking for a old lawn mower?
I believe he's minonitte or ex amish and they are very hard workers and very nice people
@@deangeyer2512 Most are...higher percentage of them than politicians, for sure...
We have them bub...there around...you just don't have your eyes open to them
Good info on the catalytic converters. Thanks for being honest and legit!
You da man Silas!, taking stolen cats is similar to lying, it's gonna catch up to you at some point. Side note, I've had four unsuccessful attempts of people trying to steal my cats, so I bought a $140 wire welder and armored up my exhaust system with metal scraps so much it looks like a dragon's tail!
I have watched your vids for a good while now and really enjoy your content it is good to see an honest scrap dealer. Keep up the good work. Love seeing the classic America stuff.
Silas, Don’t scrap those 1950s classics. There are a lot of buyers in Scandinavian countries Sweden, Norway, Netherlands (even UK) who will fly to USA , purchase your car if nearly complete regardless of condition, and arrange shipping themselves.
He don't have the time or money to hope someone flies accross the earth to buy a junk car😂
I find your videos so relaxing to watch, keep up the good content. While watching this one it occurred to me your neighbours probably don’t want to piss you off… might wind up with loader tracks on their lawn and their car in their living room….
You make them, and we enjoy watching them, always enjoy you inviting us along, Our local scrap guy is ditto to what you do,all the cat converters are accounted for, 100% all legal
Fair play to you Silas dobbin in that guy and any others that try to feed you stolen cats .The situation here in the UK is horrendos with scroats jacking up cars on peoples driveways and cutting off cats sometimes totaling the cars with the damage they cause.
Thy're no different to the scum that rob you at knifepoint or assaults you,the courts should make the offence as serious as grand theft auto that way some resitance might affect the thinking of these cockroaches and their buyers.
You might spend $10k at an auction but that's just buying inventory. It'll turn into 30 to 40% more than that.
I kinda hated to see the brown pickup, that looked nice btw, get crushed. So I just laughed because there was nothing I could do about it. Thanks for posting.
Agreed, there's someone out there fixing one up in way worse shape than that one was.
Looked way better than one I just sold and heavier duty
That truck really didn't want to get crushed. You could tell it was putting up a fight.
Hey great video again and nice to know you're a stand up guy ..these catalytic converter thefts are a shame but big money in the pockets of thieves while car owners suffer so its nice to know you're on the justice team
Again I really enjoy your videos and please keep them coming and be safe
i literally had to clock over crushing that old brown and tan ford truck. literally my dream truck paint and all. Where do you list your vehicles (or can you even sell whole vehicles in your state?) id love to find a truck like that in as good shape!
Good video Silas Very KOOL My Wife dozen Break my chops either cause I’m not married 😂
That Ford truck looked like it was in pretty good condition yet , I see trucks on the road that are in way worse condition than that truck was. It always sickens me to see a good vehicle get destroyed. When I were younger I didn't care either.
Hey, honesty is the most valuable asset when it comes to running a business! Good to know you're keeping it 100%!
On the other note, sad to see the Grand Marquis getting processed, it's such a clean body. The Toyota Tacoma looks like a mid to late 90s model. Popular trucks, hope it gets a new home or as a parts truck! Also sad to see a couple of Bullnose Fords and a squarebody. But if I had to guess, rust.
A friend of mine used to buy junks to scrap. He got a call once and the caller described a car he was going to junk. The car body is ok except for a dent on the passenger side. When we went to look at it , the dent started at the front bumper and went all the way to the back bumper. Just one of many things to deal with when working with the public!
Oh so you were expecting a perfect vehicle for basically free. Typical!
Shame to see that old truck get crushed, looked like it was pretty straight and rust free on the side I could see, probably someone would have wanted those body panels at least.
Yeah I thought the same the old girl was fighting back in the crusher 😢
Thé 80-86 Ford f250 Brown and tan truck looked pretty nice! I know you can keep them all! Being straight with the buying of the converters is best for business and not worth get in trouble with the law! Take care.
You really got to watch yourself with those catalytic converters. There's been a lot of guys put in jail because of them. That's why I like watching your videos you're honesty and integrity.
I've witnessed my neighbor buy some nice car batteries from shady characters late at night.
Outside his parents house.
Where he stashes his E-350, E-150, one of many Astrovans and a Grand Prix he has left up on front jack stands.
All four no longer have cats. lol.
Probably not the same guys but if you tolerate people like that around your neighborhood you're gonna get more of it.
Hey Silas. This video didn't make me mad...well it did but I was more sad that anyone would believe that of you and your father. I don't look at all the comments, maybe the 1st 10 or so. You have more fans than naysayers. Brush them off....I know easier said than done.
Hey Silas I respect your explanation on the catalytic converters And being a straight up honest Guy and running an straight up honest business keep up the good work I really enjoy watching your videos 👍👍👍👍👍☺️
How funny about the wife deal, you know when that approval is necessary it's a no sale!
Hey Silas, new subscriber here and I'm binging your videos. Great content! I'd like to send ya some cool trinkets. Do you have an address for fan mail??
Not at the moment unfortunately. I will be working on that soon though!
That’s right take that ,,, it’s not my Circus and not my monkeys lol take THAT to the junk yard , lol😂😂😂🎉🎉🎉 nice thanks BigAl California, praise Jesus Christ grace grace grace amen 🙏
Trolls are a pain....you block them these lunatics that run their mouth ..Trolls need to just shut it. Keep up the good work..videos are awesome 👌 👏 👍
Suprised the crusher starts and operates at very cold temperatures!
I like watching the crusher work (on anything).
Silas
I'm big on recycling the crush cars, what happens when they leave your yard? Maybe a video on this subject would be helpful, I'm sure that yard might have video themselves that they can share with you?
had a guy stealing converters around here he got 38 of them when the cops caught him they were all gone i heard for 2 people he took them from is the cops got paid their fines and their still waiting for the crook to pay them back and if he dont the cops will fine and arrest him again and the last i heard from one guy he has been in jail twice he paid the fines the cops gave him but its been over 3 years and the people are still waiting for their money!! when a crook gets out of jail it should be mandatory they maintain a full time job!!!
You are such a great guy. And anyone who knows you or your dad knows you all are a honest business. Keep up the good work .
You made my day a little better bud 😊👍thank you 😊
Fun video Silas! Any chance you ever connect with Josh from Sleeperdude? I think you may have some old sedans and such he would like!
We detest People who steal from other People ! We do NOT need Creeps like that - he must have some kind of a History otherwise the Police is NOT involved ! Honesty is the Way to a Proper/Great Life ! Loading more House into the Dumpster and the Green Bus said Good By ! Its Crunching Up Time again - we Love ! Wife's do Understand Men and Visa Versa and than You get the Total Opposite - wow ! Hard Working and Honest Silas ! Many Cheers from us in Australia !!!!
It's a different thing when your wife knows you will turn that $10,000 into $20.000 through your business, than to spend $1500 on a truck that will cost another $1500 to get it roadworthy. Love your videos Silas! I went to a local junk yard when I was 14 and wanted to work for the man running the magnet crane. He told me to come back when I was 21. By then I was in the Air Force and he was out of business.
I think the best t
Metal thieves story was the one in England where they took a full 300 feet of railroad track out of an In Use line.
Thank you for the information. My brother just had the cat stolen from his car sitting in the driveway.
GOD BLESS YOU AND ALL WHO READ THIS AMEN.
I absolutely love that old green school bus. I wish i had the money to buy it. I’ve got a small block 350 and a 700R4 trans that needs a home. That old bus looks perfect. I’m an old bus enthusiast but I’m short on funds. Oh well. I hope it finds a good home if Silas doesn’t rebuild it.
Looking for a motor 1984 Cadillac motors 4.1 V8 running great ? Cash plus shipping offered !
Dang, how’d I miss this one? I was just telling my husband how all your videos are so calm and relaxing, lol! Nah, this was still pretty chill. And I never figured you were buying stolen converters, but I tell you what… I’ve been house shopping and thanks to your videos, a garage is on my list of “must haves”. I know even a garage can be broken into but if I can add a layer of protection, I will. I just want to go out in the morning to a working, undamaged car.
Cool Video were are you located Im in Garden City Ks. Do you have any old 1971 to 1977 Chevy Van grilles. or a a sliding door from 71 to 95 with out a window a cargo van style.
It has been about 20-25 years ago it was stolen airbag, The reason I know they got mine, off of my wife new car. It was in Hazel park Mi back in the 90's. in 20 years from now it will probable be Battery out of someone Tesla . who knows. anything for their fix I guess.
Silas is a Businessman not a dumb idiot or a THIEF!!!! 100% class act
Thank you Silas for the information on theft.
Bless you and your family and I hope your all happy, safe and comfortable!
It's terrible that these thefts are happening everywhere. I'm from Pennsylvania and a local transportation company that picks up handicap people for appointments had all their catalytic converters stolen off of their vans overnight a few months ago. And sadly where it happened there is no local police only the state police. Even the sheriff's department out here is not allowed to do regular patrol's. They only serve warrants, eviction notices, PFA's and transport prisoners to court
That is why I don't go and pick up junk car parts from anyone house anymore Special if I don't know them
I'm sure there is a lot of paperwork involved with your business. You have to account for every "CAT" you process as does whoever you are selling them to. As long as at the end of the day you haven't run afoul of the law you can hold your head high.
Enjoyed the video, Silas. Why the tire thru the front window of the car?
12:34 tire fart
One guy stole an entire air conditioner unit, one of those large ones.. not the rooftop type. Well when they turned it in at the scrap, they got busted because they scratched the numbers off or something.. Luckily the house wasn't ours anymore, the bank had it at that time so it wasn't much of a loss for my parents but the guy who did it, it was one of the kids I knew in school in 9th grade.
Silas, the vintage iron I see on your videos are virtually non existent here in Florida now. That is, unless you have a fat wallet. Being retired, I've been wanting to do one last restoration. I had a 1960 Apache 10 I drove for years. If I lived closer I'd volunteer for work as long as it took to get one. Work ethic may be a dinosaur these days, but I see it is still alive and well with folks like you. I worked in junkyards for years, and your videos take me back to younger days, hot rods, hot days, and hard work.
Crushing cars is sure different than back in the 60's and 70's in the junkyard I grew up in.
I had a shed full of copper radiators and aluminum rims I was holding onto at a property of mine and someone gave me a heads up that someone was their loading up stuff by the time I got their they were gone with all my stuff out of the shed I called the scrap yard and they were their selling it so they stalled them till me and the police showed up luckily I got it all back nobody likes a thief!!!
15 degrees?! I'm sitting here in Phoenix complaining that it got down to 35° this morning. It was a little chilly in my shorts on the way to the gym.
"Not my circus, not my monkeys" One of my favorite sayings. Don't you just love it when folks are happy to stick their monkeys in your circus when they have no clue but think they do. I think this is a great video. It serves to tell people you ARE an honest dealer and you don't and won't deal in dishonesty of any kind. The bad guys won't bother if they think you'll call the police. I'd rather have good repor and a good reputation with police, it just makes life easier. Glad the green school bus found a home. You can't save them all but it's good when you can. Always enjoy seeing what Silas is doing. Stay safe and GOD bless
My wife always says that saying too, lol
Hi Silas, just wondering, how many PSI is your crusher?
If you can’t answer, just mention it in your next video. You are a magician using your loader 👍🔥😎🚗🚗
I recently had just over £300/$500 damage done to my car by them ripping off the under cover to get to the CAT which they didn't even steal.
I thought that was bad until I heard the guy round the corner after having his stolen had fitted plates over his (2 very high end cats) they cut through the frame of the car to get them writing it off and stated by insurance company must be destroyed because it was structurely damaged so much.
Bye Bye £65k/$80k mercedes
Jeesh! 😳
I'm 1 of those people who is just like this guy i work Graf yard at arrow towing at night and I'm nice to people and I take time off work to spend time with my family
Yeah you can get stolen stuff in their yard but sometimes you just have to check it out and make sure that they're not that's all
We all care about you and your family.....
So, did you end up buying that converter?
I know you save what you can...but I still can't believe the older trucks you still crush......Prices on 80-97 Fords going up......They are tough to find in the Northeast.........How about do a video setting off some airbags in the cars??!!
I cant believe there are guys out there with no balls & let the wife boss them around
can you crush a car sideways???
What a wife he's got 😍
I WANT A CRUSHER SO BAD .....LOL
You sound like a shady character here brother
Silas don't crush that 95 toyota tacoma.
Keep in good with the Feds!
What a mess regarding these converters !
Oh bugger. I wonder what happened here.
Excellent job, Snitch.
It’s fascinating to watch that crusher!
The sad thing about these people that hoard, not only do they pollute the environment, but many of these vintage cars could have been restored years ago and put back on the road instead of setting and rusting away while trees and brush grow up through them!
Releasing the plug after taking a bath, it alway the scum that makes the most noise and the last to drain
.
Great to watch that old house final being loaded into the dumpster, every thing has it's used by date.
Super excellent watching as usual.
Thank you Silas.
I'm ready to go treasure-hunting again Salas
California has become strict with the cats. Great video.
Like waching yoo work and deal its the way you do things and how you explain the proces love you greetings from Holland 👍🇱🇺🖐
Something about watching cars being crushed. Pretty cool. I just want to push the button one time. Lol. Have a wonderful day.
I knew before I watched, it had something to do with stolen something. Nice vid for an abbreviated one. I've wondered why didn't Silas film any of the house cleanup. Thanks for showin us!
I'm curious as to how many rolloffs did it take?
Thanks Silas! 👍👍👍👍
PS, You know I enjoy crushin!
I’ve done 10 so far. Probably 1 more to finish
It’s sad that you have to explain your business to trolls on the internet.
It’s gotten so you can’t say or do anything without being attacked by these people.
Thanks for taking us along on your adventures!
I loved this video. Simply because I love to see the tempered glass explode in the crusher. Usually the loader busts them with a less dramatic effect.
I don’t post a lot of comments on videos, but I do like watching your videos if I was in the junk business and you sold me stolen property. I would probably never buy from you again. Keep up the good work I hate thieves.
Im an Aussie and noticed you were filling skips with wood,, why dont you just burn the piles of wood off,??
Wind I would assume, but probably mostly time.
@@Viscalis
And/or environmental law.
Because the demolished house has much more in the debris pile than just wood. The shingles from the roof, lead paint, drywall plaster, etc. all have toxic chemicals.
Many municipalities in the U.S. have restrictions on burning debris. I guess when you live someplace with no environmental regulations - you just do what you want !
Can’t burn houses here. The only thing you can get a permit for is tree brush.
Very interesting, Silas. We always learn something from you. Husband and I are still talking about the house demolition there.!!!!
Silas that was a very pleasant and fun little video thank you
Hi Silas, how much would you want for the 2 front fenders off of the Grand Marquis? I have one that I am going to restore. I also drive it.
This is probably the wrong avenue to contact you but I have not figured out a better one as of yet first though I would like to complement you on your integrity it is obvious to anyone that views a few of your videos a honest salvage/scrap yard is harder to find than you would think so kudos to you for that
Here is my 2nd reason to post a comment what is the best way to contact you about doing some business with you I see some parts and vehicles on your videos that I would be interested in trying to make a deal on fairly frequently I do some automotive restoration work not anything that’s going to be on the cover of a magazine just good solid vehicles that are driven regularly just trying to save a few for the next generation and with the parts getting harder to find I have to widen my search area I am in northwest Arkansas so your not to far away
I think it would be pretty cool to see a video about, how to get into this business, as an owner. As always Silas, GREAT VIDEO!!!!!
I guess well have to search elsewhere for the thousands of stolen cats 😅🤣 its really nice that you show us the integrity of the business you run. Respect to you !
Thanks for the cat comments. It is so obvious you are not a shady operator. Cheers from Canada.
"Not My Circus - Not My Monkeys" 🤣🤣 I haven't heard that one in a LONG time!
Neat vid Silas. Glad to see the house going away. Also a good talk regarding the fraud scams. Looking forward tot he next program.
Thanks for this video. Great to see you and your work again. Keep posting the videos. Your doing an amazing job
Once I was cashin in metal at a processor, the police were there lockin up two men for cashin in a big bunch of those bronze cemetary vases. 😳
Cemetary stuff and railroad scrap are major red flags. I won’t buy either without certified approval.
Hey Silas, love all the videos been watching the channel for awhile. I know you’ve got a busy schedule, but just wondering if you had any plans of working
on the junkyard cabin anytime soon?
I did the other day. I’ll probably post that one on the 2nd channel soon
what's the second channel ? guess I missed when you posted it
was that bed on the 80s ford that wouldn't go easy bad , rusted or just time to go need one for mom's well dad's truck now that mom passed
another good video Yel cat theft is bad here in Southwest Va to . but stay safe and keep the video's coming
Awesome, I’ll be on the look out for the video, keep the good work up!
@@timatwell3728
It's been out for a few months now. "More adventures made from scratch"
It's good to know that you are a standup guy who is worthy of the respect that I'm sure you receive. Now, about that Opel GT...?
Seems like a lot of good vehicles crushed but you can't save them all.
That's a good wife
Your doing your best silas keep up the great work pal! Hi5.
That old green bus was awesome
