> Scope out the junkyard to look for chained dogs. Don't break into anyplace that's completely enclosed by chain fencing in case there's a loose dog.

> Use the wirecutters on the fence near a post, vertically, to make a flap that can be put back so it might not be fixed right away. Enter from someplace as far in back as possible, which will also help minimize detection of our intrusion.

Also, GG, I'm stealing the idea of a colored location list for the update to Man of SCIENCE! that I'm performing right now.

Action 9
Glancing around, you try to appear casual as you slowly circle the junkyard. Kneeling down behind a bush that borders the fence, along the seemingly abandoned back road, you pull your wire cutters from your bag. You're lucky you had the forethought to pack them, along with some screwdrivers. You won't be able to get any large metal sheets or anything yet, but its not like you'd be able to carry those back home anyways.

Careful to keep an eye out for dogs or guards, you cut a neat line in the fence and slip through, letting the fencing fall back into place. Perfect... so far. You pull on your gloves, and get to work.

You look around a little bit, trying to stay behind some large piles of junk. You poke around, ripping some pieces and wires out of dashboards as quietly as possible. You also grab some useful pieces of junk you find around.  Many of these cars have been gutted - the best pieces have been taken long ago. Those pieces that remain are generally to large for you to hide in your satchel. Some look awfully tempting there... there appears to be a broken generator, some sort of theater light assembly, and old washing machine, and a microwave. A small plane cockpit balances precariously on a pile of junk near you, as well. It might have something worthwhile inside... if you could get up there and scavenge it without killing yourself.

Suddenly, you hear voices approaching, and duck your head down.

Think we can get away with the generator?

[Diablous]

Doubt it. Let's hide and listen to the voices.

This but if they find us, bash them with pipe section and run away, trying not to show that many features.

Use our rope and a bent piece of metal to pull the precariously balanced cockpit down, then head to a different section of the junkyard for a while until the guards leave. Hopefully they will think it was just a freak accident.

[HailFire]

Y'know, even if the generator's too bulky to cart off as a unit, we might be able to gut some of the more important sub-assemblies to make into a Frankengenerator of SCIENCE! back at the basement lab or something.

@dragnar: It's precariously perched, so it'll probably fall down of it's own accord/be easy to knock down, but we don't want to attract undue attention.

[Rilder]

That microwave sounds like it could be useful?

[maxicaxi]

yesss the microwave is mineee
it calls to me ,
to science!!!

[Ottofar]

We could find semi-large backpack, put in there an empty box, the size of the microwave, go in, switch the two, and get out.
