The "random stuff found in a car you've just bought" thread
Discussion
No idea if this has been done already but as I've bought a car and found a couple of old tapes along with a few other random bits I thought to myself there must be some weirder things found out there on PH.
Here's my contribution:

- found an old Nokia 8210 under the seat of my VX220. my old golf mk2 came with a socket set, all individual sockets including 3/4 & 1/2 inch drives, in bits in the spare wheel well 
my work collegue bought a car from manchester couple of days ago, valeting it out in work we found, loads of unsmoked fag butts, lots of kingskin rizlas, lots of bits of roach, lots and lots of tobacco/weed mix in the cupholders, crevices etc, few lighters, about 5quid in coppers, a crappy samsung with some suggestive drugdealing texts, & a unplugged navman handsfree under the handbrake cover
oh and loads and loads of bits of weed underneath the back seats, almost like there had been a spillage, and lots of broken glass under the seats and in the boot
what car i hear you cry.... a 06 ford focus 1.8tdci :/
i advised him to get rid ASAP

Glittery pink vibrator in an old Golf Diesel, why the owner needed one after driving the rattly old shed I don't know, I offered it the missus but she declined for some reason, anyway it lurked in my garage bin until I did a tip run with a load of stuff and it went in the back. Anyway, forgot it was there and was pulling stuff out, a lady pulled up behind as I was half way through unloading, I pull a roll of old underlay out and the Vibrator plops onto the floor and the (rather attractive) lady sees it (hard to miss, bright pink and glittery) and our eyes meet, me mortally embarrassed picks it up and say "its not mine" and launches it in a Basil Fawlty style. What I forgot was that I nicked the batteries (hey, waste not, want not) and it was much lighter than I remembered so it almost went inter-continetal and landed at the feet of two council tip workers who look up wondering who was hoofing big pink dildos at them 
I unloaded the rest very quickly and off I went.....

I found a decent-ish ratchet in an escort snotter i bought, the socket end had been covered in black tape?? Removed tape and have nice ratchet! Think it was his "in case of chav" tool.
Mostly pens and stuff tho.. Used to valet cars at a main dealer and found everything from gold jewellery to mirco SD cards..

Yes, Sharston tip in Manchester, didn't seem funny at the time, got the car in part ex when selling a Merc A class, it was lodged under the seat, I found it when was cleaning, took the car for £250 and sold it on having sorted all its numerous foibles for £750 ! I recounted the tale to my wife after I got back fromt he tip and she was falling about at the image of me launching sex toys at council workers, imagine if I injured one, the claim form would have been hillarious.I havn't found anything unusual, load of sweet wrappers from a car I got off a fatty, thats about it.
I am fairly careful having taken a very cheap Metro off a furtive, gaunt looking chap, when I was cleaning that I found a burnt spoon and then yelped with pain at the large rusty hyperdermic jammed into the flesh off my hand, went in about 2 cm, yes, I had bought the car off a junkie, had to have a tetanus and the GP suggested an Aids test as well, which I went for but that was also possible down to an incident involving a welsh girl....
Found a massive rusty knife under the front mat of my car, nearly called the Police as thought it must have been a criminal hiding it, then remembered it was my mates knife for beheading fish when we go sea fishing that must have fallen from his bag, so glad I didnt get stopped and searched.
