Why is it that when you are told not to do something you go ahead and do it?

Of interest amongst all the carnage is this rusted out Cab 12 which turns out to have been a Rover armoured car initially, serial no. 77736. It appears to be a wartime conversion with the cab interior painted luminous white like an AFV...perhaps converted by the armoured unit where it served? This particular Rover was F60S based so the upshot is a Cab 12 F60S - a very surprising sight to behold!
Anyway I saved it from the marauding Mr. Komatsu who was hovering hungrily nearby after devouring a few Chevs for entree. Unfortunately this scrappy is paying $190 a ton which makes it somewhat uneconomical to save, recover, and store 4 tons of rusted out CMP of little monetary value and even less prospect of restoration. With no prior access to the property I found myself scrambling frantically over the wrecks with a hammer and cold chisel trying to save what parts I could whilst being pursued by Mr. Komatsu!
