    I suppose they don't want the ol'lady or the kids to find it so stash in an old car or truck and no one's the wiser.

    I guess I will be the first, over the years working on and and lately scrapping I have found 2 bags of weed. Before you comment I dont smoke weed and didnt sell it I tossed both in trash. Like others have said tools, tools, tools, new car parts, change, change, change (some 80's cars had change holders built into center console that woud drop change into center console to lost for ever),tapes. CDs, cameras, keys, keys and lastly lots of trash.

    I know it's an old thread but...


    I have found lots of tools like others, one car a couple weeks ago had a $300 set scattered in the truck (was a roll over), a number of complete stereo systems (decks, speakers, subs and amps), camping equipment, fish tanks and equipment, fishing stuff (some just yesturday), always find change (cpl hundred $ a yr worth), and once found a bag with a bunch of needles and empty viles in it, needless to say that stayed in the trunk

    thats because there is always change under the back seat and sometimes other stuff slips down there

    ive found tools, BRAND NEW full size spare tires (made a set of them for my car), sunglasses, lots of change, toys, new parts, my car yielded a pair of sony diskmans and some old cassette tapes when i cleaned it out. all kinds of garbage lol. all kinds of random stereo components. i wrecked a Cadillac STS and i kept the fancy looking pop lighters from all the ash trays..... also got an electronic shifter cable from that car not sure for what but ill find it a purpose some day lol the last couple cars i bought were not very interesting they were well cleaned inside before i purchased them. the hunt is always fun but sometimes you shove your hand in some nasty shiz trying to dig for treasures lol
