Interesting things you've found while cleaning your truck.

So what have you found while cleaning your truck out. I found quite a bit of stuff from the old owner(s) when I tore my interior out.

I found a Dr. Dre 2001 CD, a Marilyn Manson CD, and a Tool CD inside my door. The Tool CD was ruined, but I still have the other two somewhere. I think the only way they could have gotten in there is if the previous owner dropped them down the window opening.

I found an ancient bag of weed tucked in the seat. It wasn't very much, but probably enough that I would have gotten busted had a drug dog searched my truck. And no, it wasn't mine.

Quite a few lighters. Only one was completely dead, so I didn't have to buy any lighters for about a year.

Almost $5 worth of change.

A System of a Down concert ticket stub under the carpet. It was under the driver side floor carpet, so I have no clue how it got there.

A full stick of incense inside the dash vent.

A detailing bill from 1997 from a local place that's still in business.

What had to be 5 years worth of the previous owners boogers wiped under the seat. Bleh, seat replacement time.

About a million marijuana seeds.


So has anyone else found anything odd in their trucks? By the time I was done, I was surprised i didn't find any needles or a dead hooker.

Re: Interesting things you've found while cleaning your truck.

All I've found is a quarter and one of those sticky hands you get in the machines at the grocery store.


Oh, and all the plastic panels have greasy tar residue from all the cigars the previous owner smoked. (that ones my favorite)

Re: Interesting things you've found while cleaning your truck.

eh, found nothing interesting in my truck, maybe a few pennies.
Now my clients' cars, different story...
Panties, large sums of money, condoms, sex toys/mags, gun, dirty diapers, sanitary napkins/tampons (used and new), drugs, old food, roaches (both kinds), and a nice little rusty razor blade that took the tip of my finger off..
just to name a few.....

interesting as in...?


There was a set of house keys in the jump seats and beer bottle caps.

Engine bay there was a craftsman 1/4" rachet and 5/16" socket under the battery tray and a pair of wire cutters jammed between the throttle body tubes and valve cover (2.2 hamster motor)

Re: Interesting things you've found while cleaning your truck.

In my old cavalier I found the previous owners court papers for possession of illegal narcotics and methamphetamines. Also found a rather large steak knife and a wire brush under the rear seat along with white powder in the trunk area. Oh yea and a tampon. Lets just say I gave that car a good detailing before I took the risk of getting pulled over by the cop with the drug dog.

Re: Interesting things you've found while cleaning your truck.

I bought mine off of my uncle, and all I found was a little change under the seat, a Pog from Taco Bell from like 1997, a hole punch, and a "Good Luck Token" from a westren museum that we visited about 8 or 10 years ago.

You guys that are detailers - what do you do with the stuff you find? Put it all in one spot?

When I was at the dealership we would put everything into a box on the side and then put it back in the vehicle when we were done.

Re: Interesting things you've found while cleaning your truck.

I usually would put stuff in a bag or put it back where it was when I finished. If they had tons of crap like some people do I wouldn't even clean that area, I would just leave it how it was. (They were told to empty personal belongings from their car ahead of time).

Re: Interesting things you've found while cleaning your truck.

aside from all the lil nugs i drop between the seats.. sunflower seeds fell out of my dash when I took it out. I guess the previous owner left a bag on the dash and made the turn kinda like the m&ms in tommy boy. haha.

when i worked at the body shop i saw a bunch of shit.. huge knives, yayo, and lots of weed.
