The 5th day of looting brings to us more old RR manuals and books than you can roast a Rob Ford with.

Danke to the Chef for this excellent collection.

Sometimes it’s not about the dollar value of the loot, and more about what’s in it. This shitty old camera for example sells for maybe 20 bucks – but the photos of your mom on the memory card are fuckin’ priceless.

LIRR’s Ozone Tower was destroyed decades ago. It’s loot though, lives on.

Fuck mugs and glasses – your not a real explorer unless your cabinets are not full of fun things to drink out of.

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.
