What's the strangest thing you found in a second hand car?

Ded_Zebra

Inspired by the discussion in the pic thread.

For me it's fairly tame, An almost full service history! It was in the glove box of the '97 CLK and it was only missing 1 or 2 services from 1997! This is particularly odd as the seller (a dealer) never once mentioned that there was any history with the car :pac: He also sold it brand new and subsequently took it as a trade in for all of it's owners since so you would think he was well aware of it's history.

So what about yourselves?

A parking ticket

In Japanese.

And a built in karaoke machine.

Supergurrier

A copy of Playboy under the spare wheel when Playboy was only on the shelves a couple of months here, guess the guy didnt want his missus to find it.

V.W.L 11

A black bra and thong

ba_barabus

Not in a car but I found a pair of black panties in the tool box of a tractor we were looking to buy.

akura

Christmas tree lights under the back seat

Backfire

A non-working rolex watch under the back seat of a 1981 3 series bmw.

I assumed it was a chinese copy for years until i got a jeweller to look at it and he says he is convinced it is genuine, mainly going by the method by which the name rolex is printed on the face of watch. Says something like superlative chronometer or something. He wanted to buy it from me, when i refused he told me it would cost €400 to get it working. I dunno. Sounded like BS to me. But i wondered why he wanted to buy it from me. Still not convinced it is genuine. I have kept it as a souvnier.

dougie-lampkin

A 2" high figurine of the Notre Dame that functioned as a money box, in the glovebox of a Fiat Bravo. Said Bravo also contained a discography of Garth Brooks albums on tape, the towing eye for a Skoda Octavia and a Tesco for life reusable bag with a weeks groceries in the boot.

Chris_Heilong

You know this already Ded,
A mini disc with Japanese boybands(I am assuming as they have that ****ty manufactured sound) rapping. Problem is the car only came with a mini disc player and being Japanese it could not pick up Irish radio. Makes me wonder was the last owner a Girl or one of those types:eek:

We found what we suspect was a bag of weed under the back seat of a little peugeot! The car also smelt like crap when we bought it and was covered in dog hair, should have left it after us...

You could start a competition for "Guess what type of car it was?"

I don't know which one to decide on so heres a few:

• In the boot of an old 520 of mine I found cola that turned to gloop, half a bra and a soiled pair of cacks
  
• The 166 had pretty much the previous owners full data (address, credit card number, phone numbers, even golf club membership)
  
• The Stilo had nappies, smelly socks and "questionable" paraphernalia in the passenger footwell :rolleyes:
  
• Fathrs merc had very very questionable packets of white powder in the boot that were immediately incinerated within a few mins on discovery :eek:
  
• The 535 whilst still in the previous owners place had what looked like a filthy dvd in the boot :pac::pac::pac:

Other stuff from random cars includes a load of passport photos, a mars bar that expired in 1994, a hard disk drive, a garden gnome, a post office savings book, rifle casings, a pair of stilettos, number plates from some random cars and some absolutely awful music :P thankfully no empty loving packets, yet :pac:

Sure I've forgotten some, may come back to me!

Suasdaguna1

Soiled ladies underwear under the flip up passenger seat of a defender 90. I just purchased the yoke and was checking the battery. WTF certainly came into my mind as I used a pliers to put same in bin. Yuk.

A rusty 6 inch serrated edge knife in the spare wheel well.

Didn't even want to think about how to explain it if the Gardaí if they searched the boot of the car

MuppetCheck

Found a couple of hundred quid in the ash tray of a car once. Got a call from the garage within 20 minutes asking if I had found the money as the owner had picked the car up from the valetor just before I picked it up.

Dropped it back a couple of days later and in fairness he filled the tank there and then for me which was nice.

Found just under £5,000 in the cab of a cattle truck i'd just bought a few years back...only paid £3,500 for the truck could believe my luck!!.....done the decent thing though and rang the farmer I'd bought it off and told him what i'd found.
Needless to say he was very grateful ...only sold the truck because he thought he lost the money after coming from a mart ,thought he'd left the money in an envelope in his coat he left in a café and when he went back the coat was gone.
Anyway he me gave £500 for being honest ...but he wanted the truck back !! LOL

I bought a C class merc off a girl for my wife.
About a week later she got a puncture and found in the boot a small bag containing a shiney battery operated device

She made me remove and bin it and forced me to sell the car soon after

The device itself still worked
