What have you found under your car seats?

Not too long ago I removed the seats from my '85 300D to clean out any trash that had accumulated there over the years. I found a small assortment of nuts, bolts, small car parts and yes lots of trash.
I also found several dollars in change as well.

What have you found?

In "harvesting" parts from an 1984 AMG 190E 2.3, I got the following:

$0.65 in change
4 pens
the spare key
DIN radio removal tool
Threaded caps for electrical conduit
Parking lot receipts
Credit card "charge plate" receipts


In the 1985 190E from New Jersey:

Oak leaves
Pine Needles
Petrified McDonalds fries
Brown chalk that used to be miniature Hershey bar

Most peculiar (in a mysterious sense) thing I found was when I cleaned my Dad's car out after I borrowed it to go out with a bunch of friends on Friday night after school. It was a 1967 Pontiac Bonnieville Wagon. Big car. Gold. We called it the gold lizard. Big, Big engine. Big enough for an undetermined number of kids. This was 1969.

Anyway: girls panties, worn. I brought'm to high school the following Monday. Nobody ever claimed them.

Last time I was cleaning under the rear seats of my wagon I found a white thin piece of plastic with the following part number:
A 001 546 08 35. Also has a plus (+) sign on it. Anyone know what it is?

I found change, some sticky substance that once were some kind of candy and -again, french fries! What is it with those french fries under the back seat? Are they already there when you buy a new MB? :p

The 1984 300SD was purchased from a so-called "Christian" organization. (Now I'm not being negative on religion, far from it, but when you mix "money" and "religion" you may end up with less "religion" ) It had been donated to them by a member to be driven by the organization's Grand Poohbahs and then later sold.

Not one red cent anywhere in the car........ ! ! ! !

I did find a business card with a nice red lipstick kiss on the back.
(An actual lipstick kiss, not a print.)

First time I've EVER gotten a used car without some change under the seats or under the carpet.

The PO of my 'SD *never* cleaned the car unless he was going on a date (I said never...) and inbetween two of the rear floor mats I found a 10" round saw blade. Under the front seat was a good handfull or two of used sunflower seeds. Under the drivers seat was a check from his parents for 80 dollars or so. Plus everything else you guys have mentioned... (minus the panties )

The car is much cleaner now

Notably, an 11 year old bottle of peach schnapps, full and a spare set of keys to the old girl.
