Scariest objects found in a property.

This past week when checking on something in the attic of one of our active rehabs, our handyman gave us a call explaining how he had found some pretty disturbing items. When he had been in there a month prior, the place was clean but on that day he found a sleeping bag, some snacks, some meds (not the legal kind), and a two-foot-long machete laid outright by the entrance. one of our Project managers (who is a young woman) had been in the house by herself several times in the weeks prior. The Sleeping bags and meds are sketchy enough, but the machete!!!

New security measures were put in place and the sword was disposed of, but this got me curious about what kind of other scary stuff has been found in rental properties and what steps were taken in response. 

So let's hear who has also found some shady/illegal/lethal items in their properties.
