re: Anybody know any hoarders?

My brother-in-law's mother was a hoarder of the highest order. By the time my sister and her to-be husband met and married in their mid-30's, the MIL-to-be had already junked herself out of the 2k-ish square foot house she lived in by herself and was well on the way to junking herself out of the 2,500-ish sq ft recreation hall behind the house (the square footage does not include the attic that ran pretty much the length of the place) as well as having put many things out in their very large barn.
The items she would accrue were many and varied:
-Clothes, lots and lots of clothes. Many still had the tags on them.
-Lamps (wtf?)
-Silverware
-Holiday ornaments (for all the holidays)
The rest were very random things like a cheap plastic Budweiser sign that hung above a pool table in some bar once upon a time (had a plastic set of horses pulling a wagon, all encased in yellowed plastic), various toys, pottery, dishes, old vitamins, old meds, etc.
In the barn she had a couple of Kohler water filters, about 20 mattresses she got from a motel that went out of business ( ), sleeping bags, even more clothes... it was crazy.
After she died and the family went through cleaning the places out it was discovered that she would randomly stash cash in places. $50 in this jacket pocket, $120 in that empty camera case, $75 in a salt shaker, etc. Over the next year or so they found at least $10-15k in cash in various places.
There's a hoarder in the neighborhood next to ours, you can tell because their carport (attached to their house) is not just full of random crap (bed frames, boxes, etc) but it's spilled out into the yard.
That kind of thing would drive me batshit crazy.
