what's the weirdest thing you ever found in your car?

peasant

Been busy all day, taking the rear seat and sidewalls out in the van to waxoil everything behind and guess what I found under the seat wedged into a crevice:

13 empty shells for a machine pistol

A few years ago, my car a citroen bx had been tampered with and some scumbags had forced the door open. They left behind, an empty can of lager and some aftershave:eek:

Not things i found in mine, but the lads in work found a few bullet shells in the back of a jeep we traded in.

Lol, one day he found a phone really stuck underneath the passenger seat. When i gave it back to the customer he said "oh jaysus that yoke, i was wondering where that went" lol

A used tampon once in a Ford Puma under the passenger seat. And there was me checking for a loose SRS connection down there, thinking I had found the problem! :eek::eek::eek:

LOL! Gloves are advised haha;)

jap coins in an import, is about as strange as i've found.
My mate used to bring in a good few cars from japan, the japs just put any old car bit or electrics in the boot when they sell it, just to get rid of it. Once he opened the boot of a DC2 and found an aladins cave, there was spoon ecu, mugen carbon cai, headers, cats, leads, headunits, and loads more, they were worth a few €k alone.

I found once an half empty bottle of ketchup and a can of air freshener for the car.

alo1587

Japanese petrol receipts and japanese coins (Jap import obviously):)

Climate Expert

A few bangers down the back seat.

Max_Damage

Receipts from various shops dating back to 1999.

When I was a valeter, we used to have to do valets on rental cars, I once found stuck down between the spare wheel, a porn DVD. Didn't work though.

Also came across a T-shirt covered in vomit in another car. Dirty bastards.

minxie

half a dolls leg .....

One of the lads found little baggie of white powder under one of the seat squabs. Previous japanese owner must have lost it.:pac:

Not in the car but I once came back to my car to find a used sanitary towel on the windscreen. I still can't help but think WTF....

Last November I had a rental car as my own company car was in the garage. While I had the car I got a really bad facial injury and couldn't see out of my right eye which meant I couldn't drive, so I rang enterprise and they sent one of their (very attractive) reps to my place to collect the car.

She helped take my few bits and pieces from the car and handed me a 12 pack of durex and asked 'are these yours' I was feckin mortifed. Worst part was that they weren't even mine. I had literally collected the car and driven it the 4 miles home before I hurt myself

VH

a multimeter in the engine bay - had been there at least 6 weeks

Top Dog

Birdseed under the back seat.

(CH3)2CHOH

A packet of Rizzla's and a small block of a hard brown substance in a small plastic ziploc bag. Tasted bitter but made lovely muffins.

It was in the folder with the service book and manual.

I'd had the car well over 6 months.....

Thats nothing.

I used to work in a car park in town washing cars in my youth.

I was given a Land Rover to do and found a bullet proof vest and a box of shot gun cartridges.

The boss didn’t think much of it said the owner probably hunts or what ever (lots of well to do customers)

The place got raided by the cops a couple of times a few weeks later and a fair bit of drugs were found in the long term cars!

In the spare wheel well of my long gone Saab 900 I found... a riding crop and a bottle of brake fluid, well empy of brake fluid, but fileld with condoms....

Very odd.

John Mason

i found birthday candles and shoot gun shells in mine and there is some black powder thing in the ashtray which i think might be gun powder and i am too scared to touch it

Maybe the previous owner knew something we don't? "Hey, my brake fluid is low....would you mind...in this bottle please?"

There was a guy on here recently who found €2,500 in cash in the armrest compartment of a car he was test driving.....left it there and went for a different car.

Many years ago my Dad arrived home from the car auctions with a cat in the boot.

just remember, like a previous poster said, if they come sealed in a plastic bag with a packet of rizlas they're most likely not sweets.

I'm assuming by 'balls naked' that it was a bloke....

I know someone that found a phone one night with pics the owner took of herself naked... obviously they were bluetoothed to his phone before calling a few numbers to get it back to the owner!

Petrol after the wife used the car

Reminds me actually of a story i heard of a local dealer a few years back.

He traded in a van (can't remember which) of some local traveller lads. Long story short got the van valeted and put it back out on the fore court for resale. About two weeks later the lad came back saying he had left something in van and wanted to get it. The salesman insisted that the van had been clean out and there was nothing left in it, but the lad still insisted.

Got the keys, went over to the van and he opened the back door, pulled down a bit of the roof, and out came his few thousand £'s in notes. Lucky it wasn't sold lol:D

A mechanic I work with was servicing a squad car, a focus, when doing the pollen filter he looked under the seat and found a nice lump of hash:pac:

The weirdest thing I found was a dildo in the glovebox of a car. It was bagged and all! Another one was a chop bar under the carpet of a 1996 galaxy. Best before 1997:eek: The smell of the whole car made me vomit, travellers were the owners:rolleyes:

fletch...

A wasp hive in my landrover drivers door, took a while to figure out where all the gigantic wasps where coming from. also the internal lights where always full of flies. not anymore tho, under the carpet had loadsa broken glass?

I remember about 12 years ago my dads car used to have loadsa mushrooms along the windows and holes in the floor so we could see the street! maybe the nct is a good thing afterall lol!

make the oul lads car 22 years ago, my other have just reminded me how old i really am

My car (jap import) has a flare clipped under the glove box - i just know if I take it out i'll end up in some bizzare situation where i'll really need a flare!!! Also under the spare tire I found a mobile, a glove, a sock, a tin of thomas the tank engine lip balm, loads of crocodile clips and some jap instructions to what i've been told is a water pump.

This may have implications for the "fire" part of your insurance policy.

My wife once returned from a shopping trip in town, upon her return I found her to be without a single pair of new shoes in the boot.

Weird in the extreme.

Darragh29

I once found a completely mangled cat wrapped around the alternator belt of a VW Passat. Yuk! In the end I had to powerhose him out of the engine bay after pulling the main bits of cat body out with a brush handle... :eek::eek::eek:
