Btw you guys find some crazy things. I've found a hd video camera in the trunk of a van in a dirty diaper and in 2 other cars I've found mini bats. One was wrapped in electric tape completely and the other was not but had red stains on it lol.

Re: What is the weirdest thing you have found in a customer's car?

Wow...I can't beat some of these stories.

Personally, nothing exciting. Once a used condom and in another car I found some petrified dog doo in a McDonalds napkin. It was so old and hard it didn't even smell.

I think my neighbors win for strangest thing found while cleaning a car. Their Jetta was recently stolen and recovered by police. They scoured the car, made some arrests, and returned it. While cleaning out the car, the mom and son found a huge packet of crystal meth that the cops overlooked. The mom called the police and said, "You missed something and might want to come pick it up." They were right over.

I've found snow, small guns and big guns(I was warned about them), weed, womens underwear, womens toys. I found something very soft and discolored one day, couldn't figure out what is was then I realized it was a chicken nugget from Mc Donalds, almost puked on that one.

Weirdest thing I have ever found was a homemade crack pipe. This thing was a small plastice bottle of scope with a metal pipe put through it and with foil on the top held on with rubber bands. I put it in the bag with the rest of the stuff I found in the car lol.

As with Jay, I found a gun (P228 Sig). In 2001, I was servicing the car of one of our local Hockey players and in his car...The Stanley Cup. And, no...I didn't polish it!!

Live rats, vomit, dog feces, guns, etc.

Once we found a pair of men's briefs under the driver seat of a VW EOS. We discarded them. The customer showed up the next day asking where his underwear went. Apparently, he has always kept a pair of clean underwear in his car for "emergencies" since he had become a licensed driver. He was in his 60s.

I just found a $50 under a carpet, put it in the ashtray and told the owner's employee about it.

Smart move. A couple of my friends work the wash rack at the local BMW dealership. Sometimes cars will come in with a significant number of twenty or fifty dollar bills laid out perfectly in a fan shape under the floor mat. They do it to trick the wash employees into stealing it so they can get somebody fired. Shady stuff, eh? Kind of blows my mind that some rich people have nothing better to do than try to get other people fired.

I know, but the best part is when they find the bill on another place and are like " you are very honest!" Well, I do not tend to take something that it's not mine, unless told to do so.
