What's the worst/most ridiculous thing you've found when you got the keys to your property?

[xandersmom2]

We got the keys to our new house last week, getting ready to move in later this week.

So far we've discovered:

• they only left us half a set of keys. When we questioned we were told 'oh, we never had a key to the back garage door or the patio doors in the living room'. Eh? They lived there 5 years!! No real biggie, locksmith has already been to drill them out and replace them. But honestly.....
• random boxes of trash in the loft
• the integrated fridge freezer doesn't work. When we questioned this (we wondered if we needed to flick a switch or a breaker to make it work) the vendor immediately 'lawyered up' and we got a call from his solicitor to say 'nowhere in the contract does it say the fridge freezer is in working order so we're not fixing it'

None of these is going to spoil the joy of us finally getting our own home, but it got me wondering: what's the worst/most ridiculous thing you've found when you got the keys to your new home?

Spudley - we had a bin of poo too!

Dog poo, in disintegrating bags, mixed with what I think was the dirty bedding from their rat cage (so urine soaked rotting newspapers, yay!).

Too heavy to move it, and also full of stinking liquid... I almost vomited throughout the whole process of tipping away the liquid, and then triple-bagging the solids...
