What's the oddest thing you've ever found in your house that you didn't put there?

Found a baseball bat on top of the kitchen cupboards - still got it.

While turning over the flower beds in the back garden dug out an old rip saw, a full reel of hosepipe and a pick-axe without a handle - apparently the builders would just dump all of their leftover, knackered gear and cover them with topsoil and turf.

Brother-in-law was ripping out some built-in wardrobes in his (then) new house and found some pages from a 20-odd year old Sunderland Echo. They were property pages showing a picture of our actual house - part of a new estate that had just been built.
Sounds like you’ve bought a gangsters gaff.
 
Pipistrelle I reckon

There's thousands of bats up here. There's loads of them live around the fishing pond so it might have strayed from there.

They're in my garden occasionally and I often see them flitting about the trees on the field in the middle when I walk the dogs at night.
 
A loft full of crutches. It was me mates flat I was renting like and he did offer an explanation, but I've forgot it.

I just remember the crutches.
 
Some hardcore-porn Dutch Porno mag in my loft, or "schnaffen flaffen" I fondly referred to it thereafter :lol:. There was also a load of videos (regular films like dirty dancing and what not) but I just left them up there :neutral:.
 
We were packing up to move out of our old flat and while I was shifting some stuff from under the stairs the light off my torch caught something under the lowest step. I had a closer look and properly shit my pants when I saw it was a crocodile. A stuffed one, proper taxidermy job, probably about 3 foot long, but no less scary when it's little beady eye is staring back at you.

4 year we lived there with no idea there was a stuffed crocodile under the stairs. I gave it to our boy. He loves it.
 
Mate of mine kept hearing a beep every now and again in his house, it was loud and would go off every 20 mins or so. He figured it was one of his smoke alarms so he changed the batteries on both. Still it went on all night, he stayed up for hours figuring out which one it was and still couldn’t clock which one. A few weeks went by and while he was in the kitchen he heard it again coming from a cupboard. Wanted in his kitchen till it went off again and it was coming from the boiler cupboard . He waited again and eventually found the previous owners smoke detector had been wedged behind the boiler in the cupboard and it’s battery had gone. He smashed it to bits. I was pissing myself when he told me, great trick if you’re moving house. It’s like a time bomb.
