For example, I saved a bunch of these small cardboard sheets that were separating the rows of cans in a box of cat food.
Add some glue and you have a little tent for your cat.
Fucking everything, to the point it's a problem. I replaced my windscreen wipers the other day, when I broke them to fit them in the trash can, I kept the thin metal strip that is inside and acts like a spring. I don't know if it's spring steel, but it sure is spring-y and you never know when they may come in handy.
I've got a box of boxes, all different sizes, cause you never know!, as well a bag of ziplock bags, there's got to be like 400 of them.
Windshield wiper scraps are very popular with lockpick enthusiasts.
It's true, a good source of spring steel, which is exactly what you need to make custom lockpicks.
Another common source for good lockpicking spring steel is the discarded bristles from one of those street swiping vehicles. You can often find them along the curb after they drive by.
