Hidden treasure in my driver's door!

[Keith M]

Found an old, partially burned roach in a vintage Rolls Royce limousine. I've always wondered- the owner? His son? A valet?

[enigmaticdream]

I found a piece of paper stuck under the rear bench seat on my e30 325is with the inspector and time my car was being built in Germany. I think it was around 10pm at night. I still have it because I thought it was so cool.

whoa hang on there Your wifes boss is giving her the joint?

sorry, Wife's boss gave her an e36, took seat out, found joint, maybe more like a blunt.
no pun intended

[ColdAccord]

what's your wife's boss doing giving her an e36...

found a pint bottle of Jack Daniels under the back seat cushion of a '74 2002tii parts car I bought. The PO had actually cut out a rectangular section of the cushion to fit the bottle exactly.

I found a ton of stuff in my car when I got.

Some of the more uninteresting things were tons of nasty stuck together change and some weird chocolate candy that was absolutely everywhere. It had some how made its way under the back seat and the carpet.

It had a full but cheapo socket wrench set in the floor

Some of the more interesting things were a $2 bill that I was able to trade to a customer I met when I worked at lowes for his tow dolly for a day so that I could bring the e30 home.

I found a casino cash card from atlantic city.

I found condoms...LOTS of condoms....Everywhere!!

And old bootleg jeezy cd.

In the trunk I found some bolt cutters and lots of gloves. I google the PO's name and found out he had been booked a couple months before I got the car for assault and breaking and entering.

I found the previous owners financing papers from back in the day.

I found a lease agreement on the storage unit the PO was most likely using to store all the electronics he stole. The ones he didn't pawn that is. I found 3 pawn store receipts for multiple large televisions within one months time.

There were lots of things that I am forgetting but the coolest thing I found in my opinion was a 1985 German phinig or what ever the 5 cent piece is called.

I found it under the carpet. Since my car is US spec I can only assume some guy dropped it or placed it in there as it was going down the assembly line in Germany.


The best thing I found though was ZERO rust

Quarters. Everywhere. In the upholstry. Under the floormats. Under the carpet.
Under the soundproofing!
In the trunk, everywhere.

Finally cut the car up, found $5 more as they fell out of body seams, from above the
gas tank... all over.

Probably $50 worth, more or less.

And a set of crutches. But they were just strapped up underneath the parcel shelf
in the trunk.

When removing my front plate off my bronzit Es, a spare key fell out from in between the plate and the bumper.

Thats how ppl stashed their spare keys before the key magnet box was invented. Not a bad idea, used it myself.

Cop friend told me to a long time ago to drop a business card in your door from the window.
Thief steals your car, switches everything on it but they never switch the doors.
Pop the panels off and theres the proof, your business card in the door.
My old red 86 325es has my towing business cards in the drivers door.

I found a starter pack of Viagra in a hidden compartment of a volvo station wagen

Nothing can top this guy's find:

The pictures aren't working anymore though. Basically, the vertical carpeted area under the rear seat had hidden door behind it with an electric actuator to open it. One of the previous owners modified the fuel tank so this secret door opened up and he could stash shit in the "false" side of the fuel tank. Pretty cool, but sucks for someone that doesn't need to stash drugs/guns/cash/whatever else... only 8 gallon fuel tank capacity sucks.

I found a lapel pin that translated to read Vladimir Lenin with his face on it, it was stuck in the back corner of the rear window & parcel shelf.

My car was a USSR embassy car in Australia lol, I question how many bodies have been in the boot of my car
