My supra had a few jap coins and my skyline had a load of petrol receipts from Japan. After a bit more digging around putting in my install I found a brand new turbo timer and a tv tuner!

Default Re: What have ya found behind your seats?!!!

I am always finding stuff while cleaning the taxis, the usual coins, toys, food scraps, human products, dope bags, mobile phones - like someone else said some good pictures on there.

Some of the bigger stuff was a baby pram, watches, video recorder in hard case, beer/spirits, videos/dvds.

Also found many tools under the engine bay - and left some as well.

Bought a cop car from Govt Auctions and it had an annoying rattle in the back seat area, pulled out seat and found about 50 bullets all loose and rattling around.

I was lucky enough to find the original QA inspection checklists for my coupe- wedged between the rear seat and the parcel tray.

I know its not found in the back of a car but still a good find. My wife was complaining about our washing machine not pumping out the water very well, and after her hinting for a new one for awhile, i decided to give it a once over. I tipped it over and pulled the hose off the water pump and there was a $50 note half blocking the pump. It had a faded white band through the middle, but still good.

A friend of mine who works in the car industry found a torch hidden under a car seat. Wondering why it was hidden he found the end came off it and exposed 2 prongs. When you pressed the button a huge spark would ark across the terminals. What he failed to notice was that there were 2 strips of steel that ran down the out side of the torch on the end that would also zap anyone who grabbed the end. While menacing the other workers with the torch he ended up grabbing the end and giving himself a huge belt.

I just went through this thread and wow....hilarious! And some are downright gross, yuk!

My finds aren't as interesting but I can add my long lost fav pen and keys I thought I lost. My detailer gives me his "finds" when he's done and compared to these posts mine are boring. Wait, is my dried up old retainer gross enough?

When I pulled to seats of the XP I was hoping for big finds, but alas, just a couple of business cards (recent) and a squashed pair of plastic safety goggles
