Even better if you can find a stainless steel one! Personally I don't have a problem using "found" kegs eg dumped in ravines, rivers, etc.

The one i have my eye on has been dumped in our scrap metal skip which is being emptied tomorrow so i thought id rescue it.

As a brewer I have a problem with you stealing containers that have been dumped whether that may be in rivers, ravines or skips.
It doesn't matter where you find it... It still belongs to the brewery. Bear in mind it is highly unlikely... Actually inconceivable, that the brewer would have dumped his or her container as they are so valuable. Think more along the lines of unscrupulous publicans, dodgy scrapmen that realise they could be fined thousands for stealing containers or more simply bored kids that have a moments fun rolling barrels down a hill into a river. There are innumerable reasons as to why our cask go missing and we know where every single ine gets delivered to. To that end what makes it right to punish the brewer by stealing his or her property? Please, do the honest thing and phone kegwatch on the free phone number and help to get the container back to its owner.

Yes Altagas went bump a long time ago due to the boss being a fraudster - I checked this before I cut the thing up and as such presumed that me paying the old allotment owner £30 for everything on it meant that the bottles were now my sole possession as the company who provided them no longer exists.
It's the property of the official receiver then......oooo you stole of the queen Im telling ;-)
Dave
Wouldn't be the queen..... It would be the suppliers that Alta gas owed money too, the poor sods that have suffered not being paid by a big company going bust and not paying their bills on time. The receivers work to liquidate the failed company's assets in order to pay off the outstanding bills.... Nothing to do with lining the queens pockets.
At some point it's all wound up - then anything "lost" unclaimed or binned belongs to no-one. BTW the queen and her family regularly steal plenty off us - anyone ever looked up the ORIGINAL national debt? NEVER repaid...
