It is a common question, what is the strangest thing we have seen?

Just today I was reminded of a unique story. In my journey to a different customer, I rode past a house full of memories.

The home owner called, laden with anxiety. Apparently their insurance company called and requested that a bunch of “STUFF” be hauled offsite immediately, or they would terminate their home owner’s insurance coverage. This was undoubtedly a scary moment for my new customer.

The details of what we hauled away are a distant memory. I do know that we saved the customer from a difficult situation.

The customer asked me into the house to check something out. The interior of the home was in as much disrepair as the exterior. Carpets were dirty and thread bare. Dirty laundry was stacked in the nearby bathtub. There was a bunch of children’s toys on the dirty floor. I prayed that there was not an infant in the home crawling around on this floor.

As I walked through the house towards the exit, I spotted a cage near the fireplace. It was then that I realized who or what the toys were for. In the cage was a pet monkey!!!

Several years have passed since that encounter. Through the magic of social media, I was reconnected with the customer. Since then they have moved away, the house has changed hands and has undergone extensive renovations.

As for the monkey, he has passed away.

Oh the things we see when we haul away trash and junk.
