Whats the strangest thing you have found in your car???
« on: 22 January 2013, 18:03:54 »

Thread blatantly robbed from another forum I frequent.   :-[

I know its probably more suitable to 'general car chat' but, in all honestly, I think the thread will have more of a life here.

So.  Apart from the obligatory opal fruits under the rear seats (I'm sure they get put there on the assembly line) whats all been found in your car purchases?

Those that break cars on here might be finding more than most of us and be at an advantage..... :)   :)

Found a very large laminated map of London in one of my breakers last year.Lots of golf Tees,about £7 in change stuck in the drivers seat runners of the previous one.Keep hoping to find a long forgotten bag of £50 notes tucked under a rear seat but no such luck yet.
Cant think of anything particularily bizzarre at the moment.

Never found anything strange - maybe the odd trinket that I couldn't identify.  I did find £12 under the rear bench in Goldie. That wasn't far off what I paid for the car ;D

A video tape. Recorded. Had to check contents, of course. Wish I hadn't. Blue movie. Unfortunately the "actresses" were very very very large  >:( And there were a few of them. Poor bloke.

I've found various things;
x2 Rape Alarms
Learning Welsh in 30 days book
Various nasty remnants of crisps, food etc
About £80 combined over various vehicles
The funniest things come in P/X's where the client says the vehicle 'is running perfectly' and you find in the glove box estimates dated recently detailing how the vehicle is falling apart, or needs a new turbo etc  ;D

My latest breaker had a spare key wrapped in an enormous amount of insulating tape stuck up under the rear bumper,looked like it had been there many years.I doubt the last couple of owners knew it was there.
Zirk - £300 behind the courtesy light. :o :o............as Feargal Sharkey sang.It never happens to me. ;D
