Previous owner findings!

A can of hemp oil in the boot of mothers turbo.
A belly button stud in he back of ollies 440. (I picked it up not knowing what it was )
I usually find money under the seats...record so far is a fiver in a 200 quid 740. Along with spme victory V's And if you get a 2/7/900 series there's always a free petrol can under the boot floor at the sides!
Oh, and there was the time Edd was at a scrapyard and saw a good door pocket, went to empty it to remove and pulled out two used condoms

Ha ha sweet well i found in my celeb a photo of a garage, a dry cleaning ticket, some old petrol tickets one was 6 years old!, £1.42, lots of crumbs and dust and a full service history record from Volvo!
In my polo i found an ear ring, some weird tarrent cards? (thats what my mum said they were?) A load of laminated numbers, a classic fm cd, spare bulb kit there was another thing but i cant remember.
Aaaarh id be gutted if i found 2 used rubbers sloshing around inside my doors, not to mention a magazine of that description!!!

In my Silver 440, i removed the back seats when swapping the interior. I found a set of passport photos of an old dear, about 80 ish i'd guess, and a pair of Deirdree style reading glassess. That explained the amount of scuffing on the bumpers, but i was more worried as to why the glasses were under the BACK seats....

Under the passenger seat in one of my turbo's, i went rummaging for change after i bought it. Felt something sharp, pulled my hand out and 3 of my fingers were pissing with blood!
Had a look underneath and found a smashed glass juice bottle, cheers to the last owner!!
Better than 2 used condoms though

I found money under the seats in my GT ... was about £1.50. Also found a brand new aux belt in the boot ... two weeks later the aux belt snapped ... coincidence? I should have joined the dots huh!

1st ever 480 Turbo- found cans of Slim-fast in the boot. Bloke I bought it from did look a bit heavy.
Last 480 Turbo I bought- was changing the drivers side window motor only to discover that: A- there was no motor, just a block of wood holding the glass up, and B- a small glove puppet bear (I kid you not, inside the door, poor chap probably locked away there for years).
