On a VW forum they listed funny, odd, interesting things that were found in their cars while fixing/restoring them. Mini's don't have many places to hide stuff or even store stuff but who has found anything of interest in the depths of their car?
I found a few "Green Stamps", a Dunlop Pocket Tire Pressure Gauge, a two Pence coin, along with a label from some Scotch Whiskey. The Whiskey tag was just in the backseat, the Stamps, tire gauge, and Pence coin were tucked up behind the toggle switches. I don't know how they got up in there but they were there and Green Stamps were discontinued around 1991 so my car was in England possibly until then or later.

Mostly just old coins and french fries.
I found a weed pipe in a bmw I purchased many years ago.
My son bought a $500 E30 when he was 16. It had been in police impound for a while previous owner in jail on drug charges. We never found anything in it and we looked. At his high school the police would walk around the parking lot "training" their drug sniffing K9.
His caused the dog to go into alert mode. He got pulled from class and they tore through his car. Found nothing.
His street cred in HS went through the roof though.
German coins and sand
Coins, condoms, mouse turds.
From now on, whenever I sell a car, I am going to the adult toy store and hiding a toy in it.
Just so someone has a funny story in the future.
