For those of us who have purchased a home previously owned by another human, it's not uncommon to find objects left behind by those in a hurry to leave. There are, however, a few things that cross the line when it comes to hastily leaving a dwelling for new buyers.

My wife and I recently bought our second home together. The first property we've already sold, and we were looking to acquire another home to fix up and potentially rent later on.

We got the keys this week and decided to give the property a closer once-over before beginning the cleaning process. We were surprised to discover that the previous owner left behind a washer and dryer. We still haven't tested the appliances to see if they work, but we will soon.
