Having seen a thread on here where a set of hiLos were found in a car, I was thinking about the best and worst stuff I have found in cars.

Best- Stanley socket set, complete and pretty much new (sadly nicked by scrotes when I was a student)

Worst- half a hotdog, the car had been standing 2 years so you can guess what it was like!
