Tonight, I found this in my GTO. This is the second most interesting thing I've found in a car I've bought.
This first is crystal meth.
I'm not joking. I found crystal meth in the console compartment of a 00 Mustang GT I had bought from a storage unit. Like any responsible young kid, I promptly through it away.
Used cars from private sellers come with all sorts of neat shit forgotten by the previous owner. I actually keep momentos of things left by former owners from every single thing I've bought. In a way, I think it tells a story, but I'm just being sentimental.
So I turn the ball over to you, gang. What the weirdest thing you've ever found in a car?

nothing interesting in my purchased cars, but I found a mostly empty pint of NIKOLAI (Rossia Stronk) vodka in a loaner from a dealership once.

I hope you passed the meth on when you sold that car. Just to kind of keep it in the family.

I've bought 3 used cars so far - all I've ever found was change.
Although if I don't find out what the source of this annoying rattle is in my Miata, I'll be taking all the interior trim off bit by bit - maybe I'll find something cool then.

My white project E24 had some weird history, and occasionally reminders pop up. Nothing too weird (although it could easily have been), but the pile of broken glass under the right rear seat was a fun surprise. A classmate's car came with a golf trophy, but I haven't found anything too dramatic yet (other than the aforementioned theft indicator).

We found some ninja stars in a trade at my dealership.
I kept them.

I bought a '93 Legacy wagon that came with a mouse. I found the nest in the glove box, which I threw out. But I caught glimpses of him a few times on the passenger floorboard. Drove him out with mothballs.

In my E38's rear center console, I found a open bag of sour patch candies from 2005. They weren't really candies anymore they were more like polyurethane bushings.

I almost left a spear in the trunk of one car I sold. I've never found anything other than garbage, though.

1965 Plymouth Fury purchased for $400. Never opened the rear passenger door until I went to wash it - at which time I was attacked by bees, because there was a huge bees nest in the jamb.
So, bees!

I found a Lego minifigure hiding in a little recess in the sliding door on my mom's Dodge Caravan. We bought it new.

A full Rosetta Stone set for Portuguese. I would have returned it if it was a private sale, but it was a dealership so I put it on Ebay.

Mostly change, some baseball cards in my P71 (cops used to hand them out to kids), and a bunch of pretty rocks in the trunk of the Camry:
and 100 more

Not so weird, I guess, but when I bought my used 95 Accord, a cd was left in the player; didn't realize it until I was halfway home.

A fishing license from San Diego(I live in Florida, NO RUST!!! but vacuum tube maze), a new aux chord, a dirty coffee mug, and when I was at the dealership it had a front driveshaft in it. I wish they had left that. After 2 months the warranty paid up on that one.

weirdest thing? my very first car, had a bit of a farm smell, so I gave her a DEEEP clean, and when I stuck the vacuum cleaner behind the plastic in the wagon/trunk area it just kept sucking and sucking and sucking more and more chicken feed out, about 3 household vacuum's worth. Can't tell if someone accidentally split a bag open, or if they were intentionally storing it in the car in this manner, or if some animal was hiding it there.
best part, when I tell this story in person apparently my aussie accent throws americans and they usually cut me off with "did you say chicken FEET? your car was full of chicken FEET!?"

lol, the wife's car came with a fork, I used it often to fork her (that'd be were you surreptitiously slide the fork under one's bum and lift it creating a surprise, hindsight says this would be a great way to make us both die in a fiery crash) and it has even moved to her new cars as a sort of tradition :D

I found a machete in the middle of a parking lot a couple years ago. My wife is convinced it is a dumped murder weapon. But hey, it's a Ontario ! Still bring it along with me for camping and general protection in hotel rooms, so my prints are all over it now. What's the statute of limitations on murder by machete?

In my Mercury I found the original bill of sale and all the paperwork and contact information of the original owner. So I wrote him a letter asking him about the car, included my e-mail in there, low and behold a few days later I receive an e-mail answering my questions! He's a great guy and I chat with him every now and then. (Also found out my Marquis stickered for $35000! I paid $8500 for it...)
