We get all the fun stuff. Anything with radioactive material or can produce radiation (X-ray machines, etc.) that gets confiscated, comes here. In our branch storage facility we have a bunch of stainless steel tissue boxes Bed Bath & Beyond sold and had to take off their shelves because the manufacturer in India, we'll give them the benefit of the doubt and say it was an accident, smelted down some very large amounts cobalt-60 in the same vat they used to make the steel for these boxes and were pretty hot, radiologically. We have a bunch of old FiestaWare from the 70s that has uranium ore in the orange paint used to decorate them. We have some glow-in-the-dark glass marbles made from uranium. Coleman lantern mantles made with thorium. All of these are "common household items" that were very radioactive. None of them posed any really threat, but they do have elevated and very detectable levels of radioactive material(s) in them.

One of our inspectors/enforcement guys purportedly has a very extensive collection of items he has taken possession of or has confiscated over the years in his garage at home. When I asked if that was legal for him to have that stuff at his home, he scoffed and said, "Who are they gonna call, me?" lol
