Whats the most odd thing you have found in a hood system while cleaning it.
I have found dead birds in the fans.
Mice in the ducts.
Hats in the fans from the goobers who attempt to wipe out the interior of the hood before shutting down the system.THEM- "Hey my fan is making a strange noise can you check it out?" ME-" Ah mite be this baseball cap and cleaning rags I found lodged in the fan blades" Cleaning rags and those green scrubbies-same situation they didnt power off before attempying to clean.
I found a sneaker in a fan once.
Packs of cigarettes in hood and in fan.
My favorite is when somebody puts the keys to the walk in freezer in the hood and ya dont see or hear them until its time to vacum out the hood, SLURP- cling clang, Yep -there goes somebodys keys.Time to go fishing.
Tools is my favorite, free tools is a bonus, ya leave it in the fan its mine!
I've found assorted screwdrivers,pliers, channellocks,fan weight crimpers,sockets, utility knives. occasionaly the old parts from the last motor switchout. OH and the old fire links left in the hood from where the last company serviced the fire system.
 
I found half of a baked potato in a fan last Sunday, don't ask me how it got there.
We were cleaning out AC ducts in an old hotel being remodeled in DC a few years ago, the whole building was stripped, 8 stories, the ducts ran straight up from the basement 10 of them. We used a duct spinner from the top and cut holes in the bottom to vac out the water. Here is a list of what was found. One duct had dirt piled up about 4ft high, (we had to make a bigger hole, damn custruction people, there was debre from every time somone did any kind construction in that place). In the next duct we found a wallet, it had a drivers licensee but no money, and no I don't remember the name on the license. The next duct had a wad of clothes, just like someone was hiding something. I was afraid to open the next duct thinking the owner of the wallet and the clothes would be there, however it only had two wine bottles, the pile of dirt must have cushioned the fall, they were in perfect condition.
What if that stuff were clues to an unsolved murder, judging from the clothes it must have been from the fifties. Man am I glad I wasn't around then. Those must have been some real square cats back then.
I hope I didn't destroy evidence err welll huhuh just forget I said anything.
 
You could have solved the whole Jimmy Hoffa thing!
 
I found a man in a duct once........i just opened the access door and poof he was just staring at me.
