You could just root through my garbage. I can't set anything metal on my curb without a scavenger snatching it up within five5 minutes...True!

I replaced my hot water heater a couple years back. Foam insulation was waterlogged; couldn't bump the tank up the basement stairs with it on. I chiseled it all off after removing the tin jacket and took the cast iron/steel [whatever] tank out to the curb. I went back down and got the tin jacket and took it up & out to the curb next to the...nothing...The curb was empty.

Since then, anything metal does not last more than an hour. Old wheels, brake discs, watering cans/garden tools, anything metal. Gone in Sixty Seconds. Like the movie.
