    Hidden treasure in my driver's door!

    So a few weeks ago I was doing a small list of things I've wanted to get around to, including replacing my driver's door check. I had heard occasional small clunks in that door when cornering, but didn't think much of it. When I pulled the cover back from the door, I saw something weird inside and started fishing....found this:


    Two AA batteries, a purple plastic flashlight, and a shattered glass lens.

    Any other interesting finds in unusual places in your cars?

      I found some German coins under my center console because the car was originally from Germany.

        I found a "pipe" behind the headunit in my 300zx.

        Found service records in my e30, stashed between the rear seat back and the trunk bulkhead.

          Eh, a flashlight isn't that uncommon to find in a door. I found a piece of shit 1911 in a old volvo I bought.

            While doing the dash swap on my old 325is, I found one of the PO's DUI paperwork.

                Used to find all kinds of stuff when I picked up cars from auction. I remember a few in particular. a late 80s firebird that I picked up... they had a locking storage compartment in the back, when I opened it I found an oiled, loaded 38 police special revolver and about a dozen drivers license' from different states with different names but the same picture. Wish I knew the history of the owner.

                  If you mean the glass, well...no. At first I thought it was window glass because of its cleavage (:rofl:) and slight greenish tint, but I didn't find another lens in there so I'm unsure. Also, there was broken glass underneath the rear seat when I swapped the interior too. Maybe both pieces of glass broke when a PO slammed into the left rear doing a dorifto.

                    My old car I used for pizza delivery. Not a bmw. I wouldnt be surprised if there was around $50 in change flying around in it. When I had it there was always at least $100 in the center armrest for change.

                      Other then the usual small stuff like coins, pens, matches. I really haven't found anything interesting in my cars. Now my dad found some men's underwear in the quarter panel of his 72 Nova. They was in a spot that only could be accessed before the 1/4 was put on. So some line worker must of put them in there while the car was going down the assembly line lol. He also found a steak knife in the frame of his 61 Impala.

                        I found mouse shit in the air vents of my ix when I bought it. Blew in my face. Enjoyed turning the driver side vents off and blowing it all over my passengers for a few days following

                          I meant that is is purple, and phallic. Was the PO a classy lady?
