What have ya found behind your seats?!!!

[TruBlu351]

Was just talking about this in another thread and thought it would be a fun idea to see what kind of stuff people have found behind the seats or in the glove box of their car....left over from their previous owner 30+ years ago or even more recently!!

Fire away!!

[madwag]

Pens
coins
Stanley knife
Carlton Draught bottle caps

[Jim Goose]

Every car I have owned.. the usual thing i find is money and pens.

One of my cars I found about $11 in change!....

[cs123]

Chewing gum wrappers. 1,2,5,10 cent pieces.

When I cleaned my xw ute a long time ago about a month after buying it I found a very tidy well used Enfield rifle in 303/243 with a tidy lupold 6/12 power variable on a side mount , and a couple of coins some old ciggys and a used condom :(

ewwwww

[rancidpunx]

I found a snake in a customers F6 a fortnight ago.

[Pinkbits]

Under the back seat of the coupe i found a plastic toy indian & soldier that belonged to the son of the original owner.
As i keep in contact with him i called round to his place & gave them to him as a momento of his childhood.

I found a large quantity of live amunition under the seats of an 2dr LJ Torana. I also phoned the number scratched into the inside of the glovebox lid of my Cortina - the lady refused to elaborate, but begged me not to call again or tell her husband! I found this interesting, meh.

[charlie200]

Yesterday found a 20mm anti aircraft bullet and shell complete....My brothers world war 2 souvenir that fell down the seat when he was moving.

[Tonz]

early 70's (Show my age) Full page adverts for movies there were six of them all carefully rolled, no creases. Sold the lot in '77 for $350.

Another car had the skeletons of 2 cats long long dead and no smell under the back seat.

3 months after me grandad died I was given the keys to his old Vauxhall. Unfortunately no one had checked it out cause he had gone fishing the morning he passed away and hells bells you knew what was in the boot.

[XARATE]

$50, a mr potato head hand and saltanas!! Damn the saltanas!!!
Had my car for over 18 months now an they are still turning up. I dont have kids and rarely have passengers. The old owners (close friends) had two young children and i swear they lost nearly a kilo of saltanas back there. Ive replaced the seats with different ones yet somehow the saltanas keep on coming

Actually found a pair of very nice expensive pliers under my bonnet of my old Verada. Im assuming they where the mechanics as its a one owner car.

Scary thing was they had been there for some time, (years) as they where covered in that much grime.

2 more cats(fish)?

[MEANXBCOUPE]

When stripping out a mates XW, in about 1991, we found a complete newspaper under the rear seat.... Headline.... ELVIS IS DEAD. Unfortunatley, there was no mention of the mouse in the headlining who also died around the same time.
That would explain the smell.

[1972capri]

We bought a 4wd Pathfinder and found about $50 in change and the corner of a $100 note. We pulled the interior out to rust treat it and vacuum all the sand out, but didn't find the rest of the note.

But ewwww at finding cat skeletons.

[TheInterceptor]

A toilet paper roll behind the rear seats backrest in the Courier....

Hi Finds in my cars have been the mostly the usual coins,pens and other such crap but good things have been a Warren&Brown torque wrench ( I've used it for 25 years and its still accurate but I have to convert to FT/LBS) and other handy tools. In other cars a $50. note in a door and close to $250 in coins under the back seat of a merc. Cheers MD

[Auslandau]

I got excited when I found 2 pay packets unopened under the rear seat of one of the old cars ..... Unfortunatley in 1980 wages were extrememly low. Grand total of $32.00 and some change. Some poor part timer lost there Coles after school pay!

An exporter I know in Long Beach told me a pick-up was sent to Norway from Florida and when it was inspected at it's destination, the Norwegian Customs found a live alligator behind the seat.

[aualright]

My pull-out radio cassette system, after the car has been stolen by a couple of smackies from Beecroft station in Sydney. They took all my tapes (even blank ones with recordings on them), sunglasses...essentially everything in the car except the most expensive thing 'hidden' under the front seat. Idiots!

BTW, the car was recovered after they crashed it and left it where it lay. They were actually caught, but alas those Ray Bans I saved up for were long gone.
