So I was driving to work this morning and I spied a vintage Kirby out on the curb by a garbage cart. I'm not sure what model it was, perhaps a Classic. I only caught a glimpse of it as I passed by at 40 mph. I really wanted to rescue it but traffic was too heavy and I needed to get to work. I tried to justify it to myself by saying that it had been rained on during the night and I already have too many vacuum cleaners at the house, plus I've spent the past several months cramming every spare inch of space in my house and outbuilding with as much of my dad's antique toy collection as I can take, which I'm now in the process of selling online. When I drove home for lunch, the vacuum was gone and the garbage cart's lid was open, which generally means the truck has been by to empty it. I hope somebody else rescued it, but the bottom line is you just can't save 'em all.
