Default Weird things left by previous owner, when you bought the 911

So let's discuss weird or odd things you have found in your 911 left there by the previous owner, after you bought it...I'll start...

997.1 C4S....Reba CD, left in CD player. Who drives a 911 and listens to Reba?

997.2 C4S....Some sort of adult entertainment mask, One of those cheap paper things with slanted eyes and a strap to keep in on. Inside, it said...The fun starts when the secrets end....I just found it, since I finally folded down the rear seats to place a suitcase on them. Guess Brandy, who used to own it, may have been some sort of.....umm swinger?

Shortly after purchasing my C4S I noticed a nasty rattle when taking turns. I checked everything suspension related, transmission, engine, etc. Couldn't for the life of me figure out what was going. Finally had a friend drive with me and narrowed the sound to an area directly behind the drivers seat. I pulled back the carpet and noticed in a small cavity with some wiring a small screw driver. Must of have been used when installing the blue tooth module and left behind.

I still have the screw driver and refer to it as the most expensive tool I own.

Not our Porsche, but a vehicle I bought from Ebay. I had trouble with the passenger seat not wanting to slide all the way back. Took the works apart and found a diamond ring. Took it to the local jewelers just to verify it was fake. Turns out it was the real deal. Got $4k on the spot. Paid $1800 for the car.

RadioShack multimeter back by the subwoofer, crammed behind the seatback. It seems to work fine so I don't know what they were checking...

Blues Traveler CD and one other I don't remember in the glovebox CD slots of my wife's 997.1 C2S.

In our Cayenne, which was a European Delivery vehicle to the first owner who lived in FL, a toll slip from the Autostrada.

I like hiding things in cars I sell.

On further thought.... next car I sell? I will tape a usb stick to the sun visor, with scans of all the service records and maybe a few photo's?

Not a 911 but a friend of mine and I bought a beater for Ice racing. Paid $200 for it. Upon ripping out the seats and carpet, we found an envelope with $600 cash in it.

BONUS!
