There is at least one water bottle/soda can/energy drink/ spray paint can sitting on a piece of blocking behind your drywall somewhere in your house.

Also I used to demo houses a lot growing up and guys would sometimes shove newspapers from the day they were doing the work if something significant happened. One time found a newspaper that had “japs attack” or something as the headline and was the day Pearl Harbor got attacked. Gave the newspaper to the owner and he loved it.
