Oh yeah, my friend left his car at a huge parking lot for a few weeks and found out that hookers were turning tricks in them at night! When he found out, he tried to complain to the manager of the parking lot and get compensated. They wouldn't budge. He tried to just get his car back but they denied him that too! I forget how he finally got it back...

But you guys might know him, his name is George Costanza.

Besides finding the usual change, pens, music, or a brochure of the car the previous owner is buying next, I've found a couple interesting things:

When I was in college, I bought this used Nissan from a guy. When I knocked on his door this hot babe answered the door in something from what looked like Victoria's Secret. I ended up buying the car - it was his wife's car. When I got home, I found a bag with a receipt from Victoria's Secret and some underwear in it.

Later in college I ended up buying a used Toyota MR2 from a guy who was a principal at a high school. One day after buying the car, I put my hand in the door storage compartment and I pull out this stuff - it was clipped fingernails! I almost threw up!

A few years back I bought a used Mazda RX7 Twin Turbo. The leather shifter on it was kinda worn and I wished it had a new one. Later after messing around cleaning the car (I had learned my lesson with the fingernails to COMPLETELY clean the car before using it), I found a new leather shift knob under the passenger seat!

HAHA!! You people are finding some pretty good stuff! I mentioned this thread to some friends I met with today and we had a good laugh. One of them is an electrician and does inspections for the city. He told me a few good ones, though they have to do with houses, and not cars. Every once in a while he has to tear down some wallboard and open up a wall in a house to see what the wiring looks like inside. He said once he opened a wall, and suddenly there was an avalanche of empty pizza boxes everywhere. It looks like the workers had a huge party with a ton of beer and pizza and just boarded it all up in the wall of this house. There must have been about 30 pizza boxes and 10 cases of empty beer bottles.

Another time he opened a wall and found two completely brand new step ladders. Both had AGT (the telephone company) logos on them. Wonder what happened there?!?! So next time you're home, look at your walls and wonder what's in there...

i found a bottle of sunscreen, an old cellphone, 12 dollers in scratch off lotery tickets in my secret compartment. And then one day i decided to put my tools in a towl in the spare tire and wouldnt you know there were already tools there. I assume the previous owner put them there and before the dealer sold it to me the replaced them without looking first.

I found a small rug made in Tibet or Nepal under the back seat in a '64 corvair convertible - the rug dealer offerred my $100 bucks for it.

A friend bought a Volvo at an auction. Could never get a lot of gas into it. Then it started to run badly, and the problem was traced to the gas tank. It was full of bricks of cocaine, and one had opened up,
