Thanks for the responses.
I was afraid there was no good solution, and it appears that is the case.

That may not be true. :-)

Picking up on Glenn's thought, there's an old joke with people who
live in Manhattan (NYC of course). If you REALLY want to get rid of
something, wrap it up in nice paper, put it in a Tiffany's shopping
bag, and leave it on the back seat of your unattended car, preferably
unlocked to avoid glass damage.

It works.

In lieu of that, just put in on the curb for a few days and see what
happens. There ARE people looking for these things.

Perhaps, but I'd hate to end up moving it twice.
But it does remind me of when a battery was stolen out of a piece of our
logging equipment parked in the woods. Saved us the trouble of removing the
battery as it was weak and to be replaced anyway. Batteries in other
equipment were good, they just picked the wrong one.
I would have loved to see their faces when they tried to use it.

In my starving student days (early 70s), my roommate was one of those
people. He very comfortably outfitted our apartment with beautifully
rich wall-to-wall, convertable couch, a couple chairs, tables, lamps,
kitchen ware.... He was amazing, as was the quality of the stuff tossed
out for slight imperfections. Our stuff moved down the food chain in
much the same way.

To the sidewalk! Let other people furnish their premises with your
castoffs.

Apropos of which, walking along the sidewalk yesterday morning, I stumbled
across a big box full of books with a sign: "Free Books." It was an
eclectic collection indeed and all were in excellent shape. Just to be a
trifle OT, the one on top was "The Weather Book" with foreword by Nigel
Calder. It is now part of my library.
