Default Interesting things found while working on your car

So this won't really apply to new car owners, but to all of us who buy used, what sort of interesting/weird/funny things have you found in your car while working on it? I bought my tib used and found some funny things in it.

I decided to start this thread because yesterday I was removing my rear seats and I found a full unopen box of condoms that was wedged down into a little niche between the seats and panel. I was reaching down and I'm like, "What the hell is that?"

Also, once before in my 3000GT I use to have, I found $20 dollars as I was taking apart the glovebox. I can't really think of anything else too interesting I've found. The condoms top my list of weird things though.

So, figured this would be an interesting topic. What have you found?

In my brand new Nissan Frontier I found all kinds of paperwork everywhere... build sheets, etc... In my brand new Tiburon, I found a Korean candy wrapper under the carpet, under the rear seat.

I found a couple of pictures of a hot chick behind the dash in my Blazer. I think they fell down between the glass and dash.

I've found several sockets and wrenches. A screwdriver.

When my car was in the bodyshop a few weeks ago the painter found two wadded up dollar bills inside the rear bumper lol.

Best find ever though was when my friend and I were changing his head unit and found $30.
