Do You Know Anyone Who Will Take Something From Somewhere Just To Keep It?

The apple thread made me think about this. Some people will hold onto things for a long time (possibly ever).. Hoarders. But there are also people who will take things, they don't really need, just to store it away for whatever reason.

I know this man (he lives by a family member's house) who has this pretty big shop/storage area in his backyard. He lives on 5 or 6 acres of land and I would say the building might be 4000 - 5000 sq ft. Inside it is filled from top to bottom with random shite. Evidently, if he is riding through town and he sees someone throwing away a chair that is in decent condition, he will pick it up and throw it in his shop.

He is involved in one of the local mardi gras balls and every year, when the ball is over and they are tearing down the set, there are wood scraps, small metal scrapes, etc and he will collect a bunch of it. He has parts props from the balls in there. shite that he will never use, but when he takes things or tells someone what he picked up, he always says "you never know when you will need it". So it's like he collects whatever he can because, in his mind, it is something that one day, he might need.

I am not sure if that is a hoarder.. Well, I guess it is, but he is sort of an "organized hoarder", but I think that's just because of his wife. If it wasn't for her, he would probably end up having shite piled up inside and outside the house. Anyone know someone like this? Who just collects random shite? Is this some type of mental disorder?
