When I was in high school, my dad found a bikini underwear in my car. When my dad showed me the underwear my reaction was, "So that's where they were!" He couldn't understand my matter-of-fact attitude, expecting me to be red-faced over this. It turns out we were at the beach and one of my friends changed in the car and couldn't find her underwear later on.
Have a similar story about a corporate apartment that was shared by 3 different sales people (they rotated once a week so they weren't there at the same time ever). I had to travel to that office and I noticed someone had pinned a pair of red bikini underwear to the wall. No one would claim it (they were all married). So it remained there for almost a year. I am sure MollyMaids loved their sense of humor...

I found Gary Coleman sleeping one off in my trunk one day.
About 34 years ago my father-in-law found me and his daughter in the backseat of my parents '66 Impala. I survived..."we were looking for a lost ear ring".
Now we have a mini-van that we sometimes go camping in, and...er...ah..never mind. At least I learned an important lesson way back then - don't try to get a piece of the desert in her old man's driveway!!!!!

And naturally it was a very hot day...
Dried up lizard in the housing of my left reverse light.
Barbie shoe under the backseat.

Found roaches living in soggy jute padding under the floor mat in a Duster. That was in Mississippi. Good thing the south Louisiana bumpkin cops did a K-9 search on that car and not the old Pontiac it replaced. While stripping the Pontiac for the junkyard, I found a little wooden pipe with a half-full bowl under the console.
I had 2 JDM imports and heaps of my friends drive them too. I've found an expensive looking toolset (which i've been using for the past 2 years), a set of RSR springs, condoms, coins and a really old cigarette lying on the floor (i wonder how it got past aust customs).
My friends have found bullets, a packet of what we suspected was really really old weed and once a gun.

Ask 'Kramer', and George Costanza about odd objects found in the car!
Some years ago during "hard times" a plant manager agreed to sell me his elderly father's GMC pick-up. My chevy had imploded after putting some money into restoring it. I had to bum rides to work for about a month and a half, but unfortunately the only ride I could get was from a slacker that showed up late everyday. He needed me there on time. The price for the truck was a home made apple pie from my wife, what a bargin! The truck was old and rusted out, but only had 19k original miles. It ran like brand new. After driving it for three weeks, I decided to look behind the seat and in the glove compartment. I found an unopened can of Valvoline 10w30, an old buck knife, and the sales ad from the newspaper advertising the truck. The clipping listed the vin number and the factories extras that were added and the price, a little over 2 grand I think. The most interesting thing I found however was a pack of AC Delco spark plugs. The next day I asked the plant manager if he knew whether his dad had ever changed the plugs in the motor (usually don't change until 25K or so). He said the truck was parked in a field for 15 years, the day his dad had a stroke was the last day it was ran, so no the plugs were never changed. I pulled the plugs, cleaned them off and coated the threads with anti-seize. Here in 2007, the original factory plugs from 1977 still power the engine. I dread having to replace them soon.
You gave up a whole apple pie for that truck??? A half, maybe, but the whole thing...
The first words out of my wife's mouth when I pulled into the driveway..."I want my pie back." She still runs strong though...I am refering to the truck of coarse. Nothing beats the sound of a 4 barrel opening up.
I once had an accordian. Being that it is probably the most irritating to hear, and vial to play instruments on earth, I decided I would try to get rid of it.
Best way I could think of was to park at a local mall, and leave the accordian in the back seat with the doors unlocked and the rear windows down.
I returned from some shopping in anticipation of seeing my old nemisis being gone...and what I discovered was TWO accordians.

That's stinking hilarious!

Way back in the day, I found a partially open can of sardines under the back seat of my old '83 Monte Carlo. They had been placed there as retribution for a practical joke I had played on my employer at the time. It took me 3 days driving that car around (in July) to finally figure out what it was. I kept thinking it was anti-freeze, because I was having radiator problems at the same time.
My boss at the time got a good laugh out of that. It was good payback for what I had done to him earlier.

Do pregnant mice nesting in the blower motor of my '89 Mitsu Mirage count? I only found out about them AFTER I turned on the A/C and centrifuged the poor critters onto the A/C core. In July. And it was two separate incidents ten days apart. Have you ever smelled fermenting mashed mouse gunk in your car, in July? OH MY GAWD!!!!
I still have the scars from pulling out all the dash innards. Stupid mice.
