If I have to deal with my brother's property when he passes away, I'll be sticking it in an auction. The new owners will find an old car in the garage, plus a brand new lean-to conservatory my parents bought in the 1970s and never got around to putting up.

In laws found that the almost new (and very nice) master bedroom carpet that the vendors had made a selling point of had been fitted around a large wardrobe. They took the wardrobe with them.

Three cats. The owners cat plus two of her mates.
Then when the cats decided to move, all the mice came out to play. The mice had made a lovely home in the corner bath lagging. They used to scurry across the headboard at night, eat all the fruit, play in the kitchen, sit on the tool box.
