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!!

A little black book resided under the rear seat squab in my XF. This was in 1995 so I wasn't able to make much use of it

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.

Funnily enough I had an extremely rattly drivers door in the EA. I'd had the doortrim off several times, and it hadn't always rattled. Anyway, one day I had it off again, and found a rusted old ratchet in the bottom of the door. It looked like it had been there a long time so no idea where it had been hiding in the door till that point!

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 :(

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.

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.

A refund... I'd need counselling if I found that under the seats

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.

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.

$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

Thats funny!

[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.

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.
