Found the POs 10mm socket that was nestled in a crevice for years.

Ah, the classic 10mm socket curse. I have lost about 3

Oh boy, where do I start? I’m nearing the end of a 35+ year career working on MB vehicles exclusively. Some of the things I’ve found, in/on/under, vehicles I’ve worked on (not my personal cars) are very interesting.

Of course there’s the usual stuff. Money, keys, jewelry, credit cards, etc.......

Then there’s the not-so-usual stuff. I should note that some of the following items were apparently hidden intentionally and were found during repair work that required extensive dis-assembly of the vehicle (engine bay, complete interior, cargo area) Various illegal drugs, needles, naughty polaroids, various weapons (one handgun), and large amounts of cash!

Back in the late 80’s I found what was most likely a tracking device beneath a 560 SEL. The vehicle owner made the front page news a few months later. I guess that’s part of working in Northern NJ?

Everything was put back where it was found except for the money, keys, jewelry, and credit cards. These were given to the owner when they picked up their cars. I’m quite sure some people were pleasantly surprised with my discovery. I’m also fairly certain that others weren’t so thrilled, like the lady who told our receptionist that she’s never lost an earring in her life. Oops! Guess the man of the house has some explaining to do......

Indeed, over the decades I have found lots of things but nothing special like others here .

I loaned my G.F.'s convertible once to my close friend, he of course loaned it to his idiot brother who was cheating on his wife, my G.F. found some women's panties in it the very next day....

@$$holes .

I did then what I knew how to do ~ now that I know better I do better

I'm curious, where would people stash things in the engine bay? Simply curious..
