Strangest Thing You Have Found Clearing Out The Car?



  Megane r26
My old mr2 always stank of weed. Never found it though. Found a tiny interior screw in the gear stick mechanism, had been blocking off first gear... A clutch and gearbox later mind you!

A customer brought a car back in to me a few weeks back as there was a fault with the rear seatbelt buckle, I took it to the workshop and stood and watched the mechanic strip the back seats out to fit a new buckle, finding a shotgun round in the process... And a toothbrush!

That could of been dangerous if something managed to trigger it lol. As for the tooth brush, maybe previous owner used it to clean the crime scene haha

My 172 stinks of weed, Not surprising as the guy i bought it from looked stoned and was happy to take me on a testdrive with no insurance!

He actually rang me not that long ago, He said "Have you got the car running right" i said yep, "only needed new ht leads"

Was advertised needing a new engine lol!

I have never found anything more than the odd pen and 2p down the back of my seats.

I found a quarter pounder under the seat of an old car.

I also found the £150 deposit I paid for the 172 tucked into the front of the Renault wallet in the glove box. D'oh!

Found loads of stuff in the taxi over the years. Mostly phones,bank cards, plenty of umbrellas, the occasional pair of knickers, unopened condoms, a piece of cannabis resin that I threw away, money of various amounts. Once I went to a car show in an old Citroen BX I had and went for a wander to look at the cars on show. Left the bonnet up on mine so people could look at the engine and when I came back there was socket lying on the top of the intercooler. No idea where it came from but I still have it.

nothing special in mine, just an old coin in my mk1 golf.

my little bro found about 1000k Es in his saxo, all down the side of the boot carpet, but they were damp as hell n just turned into mush. Just binned them rather than reporting it to the police, was bought off some dodgey traveler types.

Kerching, that is brilliant.

I've not found anything, I think I'll go hunting in my car now.

I've bought and cleaned 30 cars a month for the last 4.5 years, before that I was valet ing for 3 years at Renault.

Never found anything exciting. At all.

Reading this thread, I'm a bit gutted!! Lol
 
I found a chip from McDonalds underneath the drivers seat in my Sunflower. Urgh. Looked very old.

Oh and in my Flamer, there was a really s**t CD left in the changer. Something like Madonna or something.

Yeah we figured it may well have had a bit of a shadey past, this was about 10 years ago and they were still the weapon of choice for criminals at the time, before all the jap stuff got popular, lol

Funnily enough back when me an me mates were 15-16 an prank calling was hilarious we were forever ringing numbers out auto traders an asking daft questions about cars. We once rang for a Cossie an asked the geezer if it would make a good get away car an first thing he said is "its more then likely seen some criminal activity in its time haha"

The Fords were terrible getaway cars, the old bill just followed the blue clouds.

My mate had a 306gti6 that needed some repair work doing on the rear arches. He took it to the body shop and the work was carried out.
About a year later he decided to strip the rear seats and rear door cards out. When he took the rear door card out he found that one of the guys down the body shop had painted "Tw*t" in massive letters down the inside of his arch. :D

£49, a wallet full of I.D's, driving licenses, bank cards and various other personal plastics nestling in a load of broken glass in an XR2i I bought a couple of years back.
