You can sometimes find them at scrapyards... but this one was found when they were tearing up a local road. It was in a pile bound for the scrapyard... the job foreman said he "wouldn't notice" if it was gone in the morning.

Since I was a kid, my dad has said he wanted one of these nice old fire hydrants. It was quite a scene when I was loading it, alone, into the back of my Suzuki Samurai. Even more of a scene when it fell out on the drive home.
