Was working in the Jeep today and discovered some things the PO left behind. I found a sock, a child's ring, a purple colored pencil, and a pen. Along with a lot of dog hair underneath the surface.

In the past I've found business cards, receipts, photos... What have you found in your used cars that the PO(s) left behind?

Box of condoms stuff up under the dash of a 1969 Cougar, bought back in 73
Have found all sorts of things over the years including a roll of 20s that more than paid for the 65 Dodge van they were found in.
Used to buy and sell used cars and thats the first thing I'd do when I got them home, tear out the seats and see what there was. Trunks were always a good place as well to find goodies. Once found a rattlesnake in one that I bought down in WVa and had hauled over 150 miles back home :ROTFL: Scared the :POPCORN: out of me when I popped the truck open

I found a "postal scale" in the Firebird under seat, yeah, I know it was really a quarter bag scale, guess PO's were low time drug dealers.

When we bought our Jeep Cherokee in Montana, I found a lot of Canadian coins under the back seat and front seats. I haven’t found a bank that will take them, so I’m going to cash them in at the currency exchange the next time I’m at the airport. Everything else was pretty much trash.

Pink wallet and a driver's license. I've only bought one used car (OK, two, but the other doesn't count, and even if it did, I didn't find anything in there...) so I don't have much to post. That car however is now on its 5th owner, which sucks because it's now almost 5 years old. :-)r Freaking lemon.

We had a similar thread on a Nissan/Datsun Zcar forum......with members having cars dating back to 1970 there were lots of interesting things, condoms, drugs, etc......several firearms. All sorts of fun things really.
