Anyone ever found one of these in their fridge???
I've often found some weird things left behind after tenants move out, but this one might take the cake. I recently asked a tenant to leave due to non-payment of rent, and when they left I noticed the refrigerator wasn't working properly. It was running with nothing obviously wrong with it from the outside, but it wasn't cold.
I had my repair guy come over and we pulled it out from the wall and that's when we noticed it had been SHOT! Yup...that's a bullet hole in the photo below. I couldn't believe it.
I'm charging the tenant for a new fridge because somehow I don't think a bullet hole is considered normal wear-and-tear.
Anyone else have any good stories of things they've found to make me feel better about my wounded fridge?

That's normal wear-and-tear in Detroit
