The 12 Days of Looting 2013 – Day 2.
-
And so it begins – The 12 Days of Looting, 2013 Edition.
The 12 days of Xmas are those immediately after “christmas”, ending on the Epiphany. However, since we here at LTV could give a rats ass about religion and magic babies, we enjoy Xing that hippy Jesus right out of his birthday, so we’re going to jump the gun and start celebrating the 12 days.… of LOOTING – starting right god damned NOW.
That’s right. Looting.
Looting is what happens when you visit an abandoned building and dig up stuff that would otherwise get crushed under a bulldozer or set on fire and broken by vandals. Sometimes this loot has retail value, but more often than not it has household value, or is something worthless to anyone else, yet awesomely collectible since it just plain looks cool-as-fuck. Since all the smartest explorers we know are looters, it made total sense to celebrate the 12 days of Xmas as the 12 days of loot-mas. Over the next 12 days we’ll post a new photo every day showing off some completely random loot.
What did you loot this year? And if you didn’t loot anything – why the fuck not start today? Xmas is coming! It’s time to Loot some gifts for all your reprobate friends!
Let’s start the first day of looting off right – Here’s a lovely Smith-Corona typewriter – looted from an abandoned factory where the scrappers were too fucking stupid to realize what it was worth.

Abandoned Station Entrance: Bowery
A decade ago, myself and ntwrkguy were the first to explore the newly abandoned queens-bound Bowery station. Since that time, this station and tunnel became something of a tourist attraction: an easy spot for beginners to enter and get a taste of what the NYC Subway system has to offer.This is not to say that this tunnel didn’t hold secrets.
