once the car is sold doesnt the car and its contents belong to the new owner? i'd find giving 20k back quite difficult

when I bought the sapph back in 1991 I found a 20 pack of durex with only 6 left in it, the lucky bastard must of been busy, mind you the cosworth probably had more pulling power back in the 90s.

I work in a Scrap yard and we get the seized cars through no insurance and tax. Loads of the usual stuff, knickers and tights weirdly we find lots of. Fuck knows what women are doing with them in their boot. Some must get well excited sitting at a desk cos they're crusty we usually hide them strategically around the yard, or have fun chasing the Romanian kid with them lol.

Said romanian has found a few gold rings and chains, likewise with silver, BB guns, clothes - some good stuff too. i have a few YSL and ben sherman shirts that came in the back of a car. Found a Peradon pool que before christmas. sold that on for Ł27
