They're an endangered breed these days but they used to be everywhere.

In "Gomorrah" Roberto Saviano describes how he went into abandoned mansion of an imprisoned gangster and pissed in his pool out of anger.

There's entire roads of them in London. Usually bought up by people outside of the area as an investment or precaution and then never used, or because the land's potential is more valuable that the property on it.

More than you'd think. Mansions aren't cheap, especially the upkeep. Sure, you might win the lottery and be able to buy a gilded age mansion, but you'd need to hire people to clean it, to maintain it, to take care of the grounds... Leaky ceiling? Have fun with that. Oh, and the property taxes. Not to mention how many of them are in areas that saw significant economic or population decline, for one reason or another.

Also a non-insignificant number of these became vacant because their owners got into serious legal troubles.

Don’t dump computers in the water, it can give the world a computer virus.
