A pair of house of fraser satin Knickers size 10 in black,i'm ashamed to say I did have a quick sniff  When I cleaned out the car the next day I found a pair of stockings in one of the rear storage bins. Took them into my bedroom and wanked myself silly all over them. A lacy bra in the rear pocket of a Mini The Zafira had a pass for Wakefield Girls High School  DISGRACEFUL! (Offers taken by PM)I've found nothing of interest in any of my cars, or in the garage come to think of it. Pretty gutting really. Clearly not the sort of cars any woman would go near! I did find a green TicTac in the driver side rear footwell of the Charmant, though I didn't try it. Also lots of bits of carpet, presumably for wrapping the bodies in? |

I found a screwdriver under my Bug's carpets. With what looked like blood smeared all the way up to the bottom of the handle. Scary!

In my GTE, 32p in coppers in the ashtray. When I sold it they were still there, so I added another 7p I had in my pocket. I also didn't bother removing my really cheap and nasty (as in £2.99 for a 20-piece set) imperial combination spanners from the glovebox, so now I have to buy some more and not risk my knuckles.
As for what I've found, my new Vectra had a parking pass for any Derbyshire County Council carpark, and two pairs of womens sunglasses - one Next, one Red or Dead. Apparently they're 'not cheap'. None of my retros have been interesting though, old receipts and curse word like that.
Certainly not £1500 or drugs, bah. And can I just say how shocked I am at the amount of female intimate clothing being found, and in particular what members of this respectable forum do with it!

Found a plastic toy skeleton about 5 years ago in the sill of my Manta when we cut it out to replace it. Thought it was very apt and I still have it. When it finally gets back on the road it'll have pride of place hanging from the rear view mirror! Other things include; A pair of long-nosed pliers in the boot of my Escort, Finding I could see my feet through the boot floor of my escort after taking out the spare wheel  , A sexual health cassette in the first Senator, A pile of Practical Classics mags, including the one my Manta was in, A "Nurse on Call" sticker, Toy cars, and the usual change, cigarette lighters etc |

God knows what that car must've smelt like after a month or so! |

When I was between jobs a few years ago, I took to fixing up derelict Carltons and selling them for some beer money. I went to see a 2.0 GL estate advertised for £250. It was a n absolute shed. It'd been a builders hack and was full of cement dust. I bought it for £75 and headed home. When I started to clear it out, I found a fair bit of cash and a multitude of tools and other miscellaneaous bits and bobs. Nothing incriminating, but I reckoned that judging by the rough value of the stuff I found, I was actually in profit even before I did anything to the car!!  When I was stripping down my first Trans-Am, I found a one cent piece which I've kept 'cos I thought it was cool and a parking ticket from Dayton in Ohio. Oh yeah, and a lot of filler that I wasn't aware of when I bought it!! |

In garages and sheds I have bought, rented, whatever...
I acquired a set of nice axle stands, a 3/8 socket set, stanley knife, several dead batteries, a pair of chocolate brown front seats for a Mk5 Cortina, an old fitted kitchen in flat pack form, etc.
In the boot of that blue Cortina there was more stuff then I can imagine now. I took a photo when I cleared it all out. There were about 5000 various self tapping screws in food bags, 10,000 small tacks, 10 rolls of insulating tape, a wooly hat, gloves, two jacks, 4 blocks of wood, some pliars, hammer, rope, tons of stuff. All of it been there for years I think. Funny thing was the boot looked "about empty" but this was all under like a false floor made from thick cardboard. I'll see if I can find the photo and post it up

in my cars.. moslty rubbish however the guy i bought the passat of left a whole socket set in the back.. dropped them back the next week.
We used to buy cat c/d cars from sandy/westbury and there was always plenty of fun rummageing around in them. lots were stolen recovered and lots repo jobs. cd's porn, fags, macdonalds, piles of leaflets with info on cruising and cottaging safer gay sex etc very odd!
2 rings one gold band and the other which i gave to my mum - she had it cleaned and valued.. white gold and saphire - needless to say she kept it.
Bags of used cosmetics and cloths, girly once a month items nearly caused me to vom as i grabbed a handful of knickers and high heels covered in claret!

When it finally gets back on the road it'll have pride of place hanging from the rear view mirror! A "Nurse on Call" sticker, My Manta came with a nurse on call sticker in the window too! And there was a very rusty unused ignition barrel in the sill of my Chevette, still had the key in it. |

I was digging around in a Honda CRX that had been in a hefty front end smack. Found a load of curse word CD's, opened the cubby hole between the seats to find it filled with sick! Ewwww!
Nothing really interesting in any of my cars. A few old coins, a golf shoe, a Country and Western Heartbreakers CD... just rubbish really.
A friend of the family was once offered a nearly new Mercedes E-Class that was sat in the middle of a field. The only proviso was that he had to clean out the interior - a stockbroker had blown his head off with a shotgun. Needless to say he left it and it was crushed (like it should have been)

Seem to remember that was the most macabre sentence in the insurance regs! Found a TV set in the boot of an Avenger once. Needless to say it didn't work! |

Seem to remember that was the most macabre sentence in the insurance regs! Yes. It was dodgy and I'm not sure about how he would have gotten around the insurance thing... maybe it hadn't been recorded yet. I remember him telling me he asked the dodgiest, hardest bloke he knew if he would do it, and even he refused! It got taken away and crushed as per the regs in the end. Personally I wouldn't like to drive around in anything someone had topped themselves in  |
