What's the strangest thing you've found...?

if unopened, sounds like an...Ebay item...$$$$s

 

When i purchase my comet i find a dead rat under the back seat look like it had been there for years and some pennys....

 

lots and lots of rat waste and also a rat hiding in the truck guess he didnt want to leave..but he had to.

 

Found a condom wrapper under the back seat of the 4 door

 

I found a small brass fire extinguisher that had some really bad smelling liquid in it.

 

im my 74 parts car i pulled the front seats i got a dead blue bird

 

well at least u no y it was in the back

 

Yup i made sure to disinfect the interior lol

 

A memorable day, I am sure .... don't think that counts as "losing them", so much as just not being able to reach them anymore.

 

Enough time has passed on this one, that I am sure the yard cycled through this car. I have been dying to mention this one .... for months.

Going through a mid-70s non-Mav (another Ford) ...

Found an overstuffed biker wallet, the long, flat kind on a chain, under the back seat pad. Drivers license with a picture of a somewhat rough-looking guy on it! Stacks (and I mean 20+ ) of unactivated credit cards, another stack of ones that looked like they were in use, probably 15 or so, no cash (probably already gone ... don't think I was the first guy to find this), and a Home Depot refund card.

I dropped this like it was on fire ... figured he was either an ID thief, was dead, or in jail ... tucked it right back where it was.

I did get some mulch at Home Depot later.

 

i had a buddy that was at the lake and lose a set of key to his muletang in about 40 feet of water the next day he came back with a old auto speaker with a kinda large magnet on it and about 50 feet of rope and fish them pups out in about 30 mins

 

Maybe one of those was a copy of my credit card....

 

A two foot long 2X6 and a home made knife, an ice pick, an ax, an a old hand saw and three yellow gunny sacks.. Creepy! and some tow chains..

 

Gonna' resurrect this thread ....

Didn't have to travel to the junkyard this time ....
Two items found in MINE lately ....



This is a penny that I used as a shim under the lower hinge on the driver's door to compensate for the bad job someone at a cut-rate body shop must have done. This was placed there in 1992. Glad to say it is no longer needed. Note how it was crushed by the door.

Then while taking my driver's door apart, I found this ....



I worked at Target as an additional part-time job for the Christmas season of 1996. I vaguely recall losing my badge and needing a new one. I probably did this while repainting the inner door and had the vinyl panel off, and driving the car to work like that. Found it 16 years later ....

 

Well I'm not gonna find anything in mine as the prev owner removed the entire interior just prior to it being painted...

I could stock a garage on all the tools & other junk I've found in different cars over the years, we called it "trunk treasures"...

One of the more interesting finds was a small stash and rolling papers stuffed in the pouch on the back drivers seat, in, get this, a recently out of service police car(I bought it at auction)... Guess someone managed to get rid of it unnoticed...
