Found one of those full-size car phone handsets under the passenger seat after the first year (I was removing seats to install harness mounts). Man, I'd cleaned the car 8 ways to Sunday, never saw a phone the size of a shoe.

I found a $50 under the center console. I also found a rotted chicken wing. Gotta take the good with the bad.

french fries, a ketchup packet(complete with a stain on the carpet), lots of change, lipstick, and a CD player under the passanger seat. I still check it to make sure there are not gold dabloons from a pirate ship to pay for all the repairs I have done to it.

While putting a new stereo in the '99 Forester I bought last week, I found $6.85 in change under the console, all nickles, dimes, & qyuarters... no pennies at all.

There's still $.75 where I couldn't reach it (too lazy to go to the upstairs garage for the spring-finger tool), and a least a dollar's worth fell into the gap between the carpet & floorpan. It about paid for supper Monday night.

Jim, wondering if this is the Crutchfield "instant rebate" program...

Under the seats I have found pill bottles, hair brush, various 80's tapes, and a radar detectar. I am going to be removing the seats soon, so there maybe more to come.

Sammi, PUT THOSES COINS BACK!!! Germans believe that it is good luck for some reason, I don't remember the story. A customer found the same thing under his drivers seat, he gave them to his kid and not a month later the car was totalled. Coincidence? hmmmmm........
