Things found in airing cupboards

Nothing to do with an airing cupboard, But I do have a few stories,

 

First one,
About 14 years ago I did an intruder install on a separate garage at the top of a guys garden,

Routing and clipping cables around the roof timber, I disturbed a plastic Woolworths carrier bag, So I picked it up to move it.

Though to myself, This does not feel quite right, I know what this is... Opened the bag, It was a loaded gun, an old one with the spinning barrel on it.

Chucked it right back, did the job and said bugger all. Needless to say, Earlier this year he was charged for letter bombs and attempted murder on the news.

 

Second one,  (One I will never forget & My Favourite)

Must be about 10 years ago, We did a large amount of student accommodation places with very basic intruder alarms.

You go into the house, Each room is a separate persons room and shared kitchen/bath etc.  Anyway, We got most of the cabling for the install

but when it the external ball, We needed to get the to the front bedroom So I knocked on.   I $hit you not, this young fit as bird opened the door to let us in,

As we started to move a couple of items about, another girl got up from the bed, NAKED and started talking to us like it was normal. They were a pair of
lesbians, There were some weird looking objects on the floor and an image that sticks in my mind of a double ender  LMFAO, 

 

I'm sure we all have some great stories but these two have to be the ones I can most remember like it was yesterday

Found a coin (US dime) unde the floor which the householder was happy for me to keep. Later sold it for $400 on ebay US (rare mark)

 

Same street years later (last year in fact) found a large grotty envelope underfloor marked '2004 - £15,000 cash'... Have you seen my new motorbike?

Not really, obviously I gave it to the customer - who then confessed he'd forgotten it was there!!

So, I've decided to take my work back underground.... to stop it falling into the wrong hands

Only thing I can remember finding was some porn above a cu that the Mrs was not happy about, and some stashed booty (camcorder) in a pub loft, the landlady said her brother had been up there and even said it was probably stolen.

Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool.

I think the best thing i've found on a job was in the attic of an old library. Installing void detection and went through a crawling gap in the eaves to the next roof and found a couple of newspapers from the 50's, couple of old tins of pop and some fag packs and matches. Had a flick through the pristine papers and took them down for the mini museum they had. 

 

Was pretty funny to think that the only thing changes is technology. People will still bunk off for 5 minutes and have a snooze.
