I was in the car business for 25 years and people have left all kinds of things in their trade-ins. Money, alcohol, drugs (cocaine and marijuana), hand guns, dirty diapers (really), radar detectors, clothing, you name it. One of the best stories was in my early days at a VW-Porsche-Audi store. A customer returned with his new US made Rabbit complaining of a rattle. After a couple visits without success a mechanic began taking bigger stuff apart. Finally after removing the dashboard he found the source of the noise. A Coke bottle stuffed into the structure under the dash!
At the M-B dealership the mechanics found German food wrappers under the rear seats of a newly sold car when it was brought back for an unrelated issue.
