What's the weirdest/worst thing you've found going curbside trash scrapping

RATS!!!!!
I was going to post a new thread about this but I was still too mad.
Last week I picked up an old RCA VICTOR 45’s only record play from my neighbor directly across the alley from me. I opened the top up and the thing was full of a nest. Not just a few chewed up papers, but full!!!
Well drug it across the alley and open the flip up lid and slammed on the ground a few times to get the **** out of it and then took it in my garage and started to bust it apart and a **** RAT came running out into my garage.
NOW I am mad!! I took it back out on the slab and started beating on it (record play) with my sledge and another RAT came running out.
Now the real bad part of all of this is. Rats can be poisoned or shot. But the neighbors I have known for over 20+ years are the ones with RATS in their basement.
Edited to ad. I do know what a house or field mouse look like. THESE were RATS. Young ones but RATS!!!!

it's claimed if you see one rat you have an infestation.
