A box full of sex toys inc batteries
I hadnt a clue what they were and brought them down while hubby and my best female mates (3) sat on the sofa asking ohh what are these
She also left me months down the line all of her post, her unpaid bills and 2 ballifs looking for her!

Stockings, a fly catcher and a christmas tree.

I accidently left my entire collection of uni notes in my last place so somebody had the joy of readng those when they moved in!

Just started renting a flat in March...

in the flat - a bag of christmas trimmings, a draw full of forks & knifes.

In a mass of bushes we chopped down - about 5 burnt out mattresses, several bags of household rubbish, crisp packets dating from 1989, lots of odd bits of scrap metal, carpet, hammers, shovels and a wallet full of wage slips.

In the out houses - 10 water tanks (from the building contractor of the landlord we presume) a lawn mower which works perfectly, several gardening tools, a wicker chair.

They are the things i can remember, there was much more. We had a bit of fun finding all the crap outside obviously no-one had ever maintained the garden and it was just used as the local tip.

Edit: just remembered - in the outhouse for the ground floor flat (which is used as storage for the contractor) a fridge freezer. We told the LL but didnt get a response. We found an old door in the garden and just covered it up. out of sight out of mind

Some previous neighbours of mine found a full gimp suit, including mask in the loft when they moved in next door - it used to make regular appearances at drunken BBQ's....

In one of the houses we bought we found 6 months worth of unopened post which contained dividend cheques amounting to over £10,000 - these were passed on to the other sides lawyers to pass on to the next of kin as it was a probate property.

7000 books on assorted subjects, a canoe, a rusty trailer, 15 Video recorders (not working), three double mattresses (nasty...) a set of saucepans for mass catering (smallest one was about 2 gallon size), four live bullets, a mummified dead rat and a commercial fridge (in the garden, full of water)
