Grossest thing you've found after a tenant has moved out?

Hey BP! What's the grossest or weirdest thing you've found after a tenant moved out? I'll go first: we had a tenant who was evicted and kindly left us baggies of human excrement tied to the door knobs. Extremely classy :) What's your story?

I found a childs urn once.

About a week after a tenant moved out (breaking her lease) she told me she was out and it was clean. I get there and find tons of trash bags and loose junk in piled everywhere. So as I start tossing stuff, I come across this urn. I couldn't' believe it. Start checking it out and sure enough that's what it was, it even had this piece of memorabilia to go with it. As much as I wanted to cut ties with this woman, I decided to call her. She reluctantly agreed to come pick it up, when she got there she explained it was the ashes of a son she had lost a few years past while was still very young.

She was really just going to leave that there for me to toss. I'm not big on nostalgia, but that surprised even me.
