Getting a pair today, I've never realized up until I read this thread, I get cut on almost every car I clean. It's just my luck though.

How about crappy toilet paper...and yes, it's one of those things you just have to ask about. Well, aparently the customer had to go to the bathroom real bad, so she pulled off to the side of the road, went and wiped herself....not wanting to litter (LOL), she threw it on the floor in the back and apparently it blew under the seat and she forgot about it.

I have a client that I clean 6 cars a month for. found a condom in his 22 year old son's car. Not used, but I put it in a place he would know I found it...lol. Funny, he acts strange when I come clean the cars now.

Always find money...i put it in the center console. I also tell the customer.

Never found a sex toy...but that would be interesting.

I have found a bag of weed, a wedding ring, and a rotten bannana in a glove compartment.

When I was in training someone found a handgun under a seat that was used in a murder, we called the cops because we have to anytime we find a weapon that isnt enclosed in a case such as a hunting shotgun.

I found rolling papers underneath the drivers seat, and a tiny bit of old crumbled up green plant material (which I obviously assumed was pot) in the crevices of the center console in a Porsche 944. The car had been just put back on the road after 6 years of storage, so I figured the client probably just forgot about it after so many years or never realized it was there. He is one of the nicest guys I know and a very responsible/wealthy individual, so I never mentioned it to him.

I also found a few Hydrocodone tables in the crevices of the rear seat of a college kids Civic, a few I vac'd up by accident and the rest I just threw in a bag with the rest of his belongings. Never brought it up with him either, although I'm sure he knows I found them.

I worked at the local hack shack while in university, and have found lots of the usual; condoms, weapons, cash, sex toys, lingerie etc. Not much would phase me these days. The most significant find was in a Mercedes, underneath the drivers seat were two saran wrapped blocks of $100's all neatly wrapped in bank ties. How the customer forgot about it I'll never know. He was ecstatic I had found it though, and I received a more than adequate tip for my work (covered my rent for the month

).

Survey Says,

Money
Drugs,
Sex stuff
And most digusting items that someone just forgot about.

My story, My old ram,, I took my lunch to work in a tupperware container one nite and didn't take it in with me, I wasn't feeling that well so I skipped lunch. That morning I ended up giving a coworker a ride home in a hurry I just threw everything a sweatshirt/newspaper and my lunch packet on the back seat. Didn't think of it. and being winter time it didn't go bad just yet.

Well that May In the nice hot weather that bad boy busted open and the stench couldve gagged a maggot. OMG It took me weeks with the windows open and baking soda to air it out.
