Ex had a clamping company did government work and police compound stuff that all went to auction or got broken. She gave me a civic said it was a drug dealers car and that there was an "aroma".

Searched through it in usual places, nothing but I could smell weed. Took door cards off and there were several bags of weed. Didn't think there would be more. Handed it in and police tool the car back.

There was thousands in a hidden compartment accessed by taking whole centre console off. Gutted.

Apparently ex found a plastic bag with a finger in it once :/
So did you get it all back after 7 days when no one claimed it :D:D
 
found a used condom under the backseat of a polo i bought, rubber gloves to remove that :) found £40 under the seat of my 200 disco i bought for £500 that was a result
 
In me 110 i found enough electricians tape to last years and two boxes of 9V batteries, 4years out of date and all flat, I sat and checked each one with a multimeter, sad i know.
 
Never been lucky enough to find anything of value in a car I bought. In fact quite the opposite as I once failed to spot the car I just bought was missing a driveshaft and the spare wheel...:eek:
 
My last discovery had the ashtray full of change, found it whilst stuck in traffic on m25 and it was about £9.

The best was my recent donor discovery brought for £200.

In the back was its old broken gearbox with working transfer box attached.

I made £275 from that alone. :)
 
Friend of mine found a 12G shotgun, 250 rounds of ammo, a working chainsaw and around £50 in change.

All in the back of a 110!
So your friend bought a stolen 110 then :mad:

Found a load of injection needles behind the dash on the 90 - although i think it used to be owned by a vet so not too surprising.

Transfer boxes are worth £100 when working, I actually charged £150 including fitting.

Was left with broken gearbox and broken transfer box which both went to a company that buys them to refurb and sell on. Both parts were another £125.00 so yes my broken parts were more profitable than your good ones. :)
 
once bought skoda estelle for spares and find 2 cantilever boxes full of tools behind seats and wallet under seat.
most of tools were cheap stuff but got some goor ratchets im still using 20 odd yrs later.
 
the only thing i found behind my dash were a #### load of scotch blocks! :mad:

Worst thing ever to put in yo car. Im still finding the fookers on various parts of the car 2 years later!
 
Bought a disco td5 a couple of years ago from auctions.
In the boot found several unused shotgun shells, a flat cap, a walking stick and a dog lead.

Was more concerned about the muddy footprints I found on the roof liner.....above the boot!!
 
Bought a mini van and found Osama Binladen, 3 sub machine guns, 2 coffee cups and £24,000 in used notes under the passenger seat :mad:

I used to work in a bodyshop for an insurance company, some cars were written off so paid out to the owner and sent to auction....being the yard man I used to clear all the valuables out before they went, anything unclaimed was mine.

God knows how many sat navs, loose change, torches, tools, spares, amps and subs etc etc
Found literally a bootful of CD wallets, poor car was crammed full of CDs, all good stuff aswell!
 
i found a nice 3/8 snap-on ratchet and extension behind the drivers seat of my 90, in decent condition, and a mighty fine south american panpipe CD.
