Have any of you found a unusual item or items in a car you have just bought?
I bought a Sunbeam Talbot Mk3B a few years ago that had been standing in a barn for a while, when I was driving it home every time I braked a couple of acorns would roll out from under the seat, turned out it had a squirrels cache under the seat. hope the squirrel didn't go hungry that winter!

I left a hardcore DVD in the last car i had before I bought my saxo!
Never found anything good, unlike the bloke who bought the car!

Once bought an old Escort from some mad old woman in Pembrokeshire, turns out she'd had it parked up for a couple of years at her guest house. Some nice young Irish men had got off the boat from Dublin and had left very suddenly without their car, and had left no forwarding address. Bought for about £300, trailered it half way up the A40 when I was stopped by the local dibbs, ended up spreadeagled by the side of the road.
Under the boot floor was a canvas bag with over 3000 7.62mm rounds.
Took some explaining that one.

Managed to acquire an industrial size packet of condoms, and hid them in my car, forgot to take them out before I got rid of it!
So some person has acquired a few hundred condoms, oh well at least I got them for free!

A hair bobble, bracelet under the back seats of the saxo, 2 kitchen knives in the front passenger footwell & the lads whole cd collection in my door pocket. Was only 5 min from his house when i found the CD book so i spun round and dropped it off at his, then as i was leaving he came runing back out to check the headunit... 1 more CD :P
The knives must have been used to put the std headunit back in the sax too.
Found loadsa stuff in my mini, change, magazines, a keyring, bottle of water, ashtray full of joint butts :P

In my FTO there was a pair of old boxer shorts under the bonnet just behind the headlight... obviously been used as an oily rag.
Also found some Japanese sweets when I took the back seat out.
In our MR2 roadster the previos owners left a whole CD wallet with U2, Scooter, Best R&B, Abba Gold and a few other CD's in them!
