Ran into a wiring mess on a CRJ900 at LAX last night

We pulled the overhead panel on this CRJ900 to trace a flickering display light. Somebody had used zip ties way too tight and crimped three wires together, causing a short. How often do you guys find stuff like that from previous techs on older airframes?
