Pack rat stashes 70,000 beer cans

Collecting beer cans was a hot hobby when I was a kid, but a Utah man who stopped tossing his trash took the idea to an extreme when he let 70,000 empties pile up in his Ogden townhouse.

Property manager Ryan Froerer told KSL TV the sight was "the sickest thing he's ever seen." So many beer cans were piled on the floor that they blocked the front door from being opened.

The mess -- the output of a man who allegedly averaged 24 beers a day for 8 years -- has since been cleaned up. And so has the guy who made it: He's supposedly on the wagon.
