Renter Left 70,000 Beer Cans in Townhome.

A renter in Ogden, Utah left a surprise for his landlord: 70,000 beer cans!

Inside, he took just a few snapshots to document the scene. Beer cans by the tens of thousands. Mountains of cans burying the furniture. The water and heat were shut off, apparently on purpose by the tenant, who evidently drank Coors Light beer exclusively for the eight years he lived there. …

The cans were recycled for 800 dollars, an estimated 70,000 cans: 24 beers a day for 8 years. …

The townhouse was cleaned up last year and it’s just fine today.

The man who lived there seems to be back on his feet. We spoke to him today and he says he’s completely stopped drinking. He was welcomed back to his old job a few months ago, and his co-workers speak highly of him.
