What's the strangest thing someone brought in when you worked there?

Smaller stuff was a lot of stuff people would try to slide by to get their weight up, like still full fire extinguishers. Random containers of like 2/3s phone charging cable wires and 1/3 old porn magazines, a used fry pan and clothes hangers. And unfortunately for me, I had to sort out all the wires 😂
Had a few try and argue for some plastics or whether or not something was a certain kind of metal.
Lots of gnarly grills.
A lot of uh… less than legally acquired copper.
Bigger stuff was processing retired school buses, factory roof a/c units, really nasty cars.
There was apparently a guy around here who would get old freezers, fill them with rocks, and padlock the door shut. They just refused to buy from him the next time he brought in a load.
No way 😂
Never had it happen to me, but I heard of people sticking a hose in a junk car they were gonna scrap and absolutely soaking the inside and then filling gas tank etc for weigh.
Freezers with rocks is crazy though 😂
