Why would they use a magnet in a scrap yard?
To move heavy scrap metal from place to place. You are able to flatten scrap metal with some magnets, this enables you to pick up more. My magnet weighed in at 5 tons, therefore can easily crush a car and pick up multiple flattened cars. These types of magnets are very powerful and can penetrate through multiple layered vehicles if they have been crushed, otherwise to hover a magnet over a car in its original un-crushed condition would not be a sufficient enough magnetised area (just the roof on its own) for the magnet to hold the weight of a car. I hope this helps to explain your question.
Where are temporary magnets used?
