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
