Disappointment for me going from everybody else's posts !!.I worked as a valeter for a few years from 14 at my old mans place and have owned 60 plus cars my self (now 40) and I think the best thing I have found is a "couple of quid" lol.No panties ,drugs or guns .I did find a live rifle cartridge and a couple of live shotgun shell shells in my garage years ago.No idea where they come from though

Never found fuck all interesting. Although I did buy a car, and the guy posted me an old MOT he found about 2 years later.

Didn't have the heart to tell him I had to scrap it after going through a wall a couple months earlier.

It wasn an XR2i 16V and he really didn't want to get rid

Not alot i aint found over the years from wheeling an dealing and commercial valeting, the best stuff comes from the worst motors..

Found 5grams of coke in a mk1 fez pop, id have needed that to drive a 950 an all , cartridges, weapons the best being Ninja stars..which i threw at my my shed, subsequently popping the window

a zillion cd's, tools, endless schrapnell, the odd notes and just general shit tbh, but why folk leave minging underwear in scrappers is beyond me tbh..

id love to work in a salvage yard, just for the treasure hunting

i've had my fair share of motors, but never really found anything interesting, dumpy snap on screw driver is probably the most valuable find, but even that was pink

there loads of shady characters out there with the amount of knives and gun cartridges

Good work from the feds

Probably the missing link in a previous crime sat right under their noses.

my dad bought a punto of ebay very cheep afew years back, the woman he bought it off was very distraught it was her husbands car and he died, a month down the line we only saw the car on crimewatch in a reconstruction he had been shot dead whist entering of exiting car, found a mirror and razor under drivers seat how could someone miss then?,
whist stripping my gt4 for paint i found that driver side rear quarter has been replaced think it was done in japan as i found a Japanese TV controller in there.
my latest find was a pug406 i was given, took it for a drive all was good, took it abit faster round a bend, the car instantly smelt like a dead body stopped at asda opened the boot, it was full of water with 3 moldy trifles floating around.
