Ever come across something in a second hand car you've bought?

[Nabinium]

This morning, I found a windscreen cover inside a packet hidden near the spare tyre in my boot. Not sure how I didn't notice I even had one until today, despite buying the car 2 years ago! Definitely going to be handy in the winter.

This discovery very much prompted me to make this thread and ask everybody - has anybody ever found anything in their car? Any hidden gems?

Some old expired bank cards under a seat.

All sorts lol

Old credit cards, sunglasses, audio cables, lighters. A few CDs, which I usually also leave in the car when I sell it. Part of the car now

Found some kind of doctor's reference book in one. Had about 2000 pages of illnesses and treatments.

A kilo of weed hidden inside the dash behind the radio!

Ah yes, you were definitely unaware of such a thing being there, right

Discovery of the second ashtray for the rear passengers in my mk4 Mondeo. I found it after 1.5 years or so when clicking pictures to write an online review.

I found a jazz mag under the boot carpet in a Ford Granada I bought in around 1996.

My work colleague found their brake light compartments stuffed with old, filled, nappies.

I once found a massive bag of flour, oddly enough the previous owners repackaged it in a see through bag, like a rectangular shape. I baked some muffins with it and my friends haven't stopped asking for more since so it must've been really good flour.

Little spent gas canisters and a suspicious tiny baggie with dusty remnants in it.

Yes. How is your mother OP?

Nothing exciting, some fishing weights in the carpet of a Nissan GTIR. The card of a salesman in Japan when I bought a Spec C Type RA. Fake NOS lines in the engine bay of the Evo 9 GT in my sig.

Ahh the classic. Who needs icing sugar on the muffins when the 'flour' alone comes with its own kick?

The only thing I have ever found in a used car that I have bought was a Abba Gold CD that was in the CD player of my previous car, a 2017 Ford B-Max 125bhp.

Popeye wine opener, worth a few quid too.

Not a second hand car, but in 2018 I got a new car on a 3 year lease. I moaned about the lack of lumbar support.

In 2021, cleaning the car the day before I handed it back, I found the switch to extend the lumbar support.

Jdm import. Found a 100yen coin and a cigarette under one of the seat rails, I'd owned it for about 14 years by that point. There was also some wiring for what I presume was once a TV going off the wires and the ariel stuck to the rear windscreen. but I knew about that not long after buying it.
