Shelton Police Chief Terry Davenport said the home was so cluttered that police officers' heads touched the ceiling as they climbed over the clutter.

Think I will clean out my closets today.

My mother hoards, but she has not gotten quite as bad as the cases I've read about. Things are not yet piled to the ceiling. She does, however, keep old newspapers and magazines STUFFED under her couch, planning to read them someday. She washes out and keeps old ziplock bags and has about a million plastic grocery bags stuffed into every nook and cranny. She buys clothes for her grandchildren and forgets about them until 5-10 years later when she stumbles across them in her closet. My sister and I hauled off several truckloads of PURE JUNK while she was away on vacation. She was NOT HAPPY at all!
She could not even tell what was missing, only that her closets and rooms were organized, therefore she knew stuff was missing! She immediately refilled the space.
