One homeowner obviously loved their chicken as on the list of strange finds was a clean chicken carcass under a pile of magazines.
While some others were keen collectors of sexual objects - as on the list of finds were a 5ft plaster cast statue of a penis, a sexual dollhouse brothel and a ten inch wooden dildo.
Other odds items, which most of us would chuck out if we found them, were a fridge full of maggots and the soiled area of a recently deceased person.
