Where do I begin?

A rolled up wad of bank notes.

A carving knife.

Razor blade.

Various items of jewelery .

A long lost, and VERY valuable bunch of keys.

Oh, and the occasional piece of Lego (make of that what you will ;D )

Safe and happy fingers :)

Think I have mentioned this before, the strangest thing I ever found was a real skull in a cupboard. Made sure I did a real good job though just incase that was all that was left of the previous carpet cleaner  ;D

Similar to many of the above...
Gay Monthly under the bed..
Knickers down the sofa...
Rolled up wad of cash behind a drawer...

But what takes the biscuit and scared the hell out of me was a customers DEAD CAT on the kitchen table  :o :o
Thing is I didnt realise it was dead and went to stroke it !
Apparently it had died during the night and the guy was gonna "sort" it later !!
Weird....

It has never ceased to amaze me that they knew you were coming to clean the sofas or mattress's etc yet still never checked what was under the cushions,

All kinds of paraphernalia found, from the usual soft porn mags , vibes, etc to a gun but by far the most unusual and expensive was a solid gold mans charm bracelet, completely full of charms and was an inch wide on each link, quite amazing must have been a nightmare to wear , which we found in a gastro pub owners private residence.

Any way, we the finished job and then produced it for the owners who nearly fell down with shock, it had been 'lost' 3 years earlier  :o  and they had been paid out thousands of pounds by the insurers.

I said we won't say anything if you don't and took a nice tip by way of a thank you  ;) suffice to say we have been back many times since and have become good friends with owners.
