Ever found tools in your car?

Found a 3/8" box end wrench in the driver-side rear tire, after the tire blew.

How many have you found and they were your own?
Thankfully they're not lost after all.

This is a little story,maybe not new to some.

A Cadillac (?) owner complained from day one to his dealer,his car having a clunk noise off and on going down the rroad.After numerous trips to the garage, even two different tech reps were involved,helping locate the noise when driving only.Just to no avail.Well the owner gave his car back, out of frustration.The car was taken to a GM distributing center were the noise was located in the hollow frame bent behind a rear wheel.After cutting it open, a coke bottle hanging on a string with a note in it, was found.The note said:"Finally you found me,you rich sob!"

I've heard some stories of bored auto workers, placing nuts and bolts in certain places.

I once found part of what I think was a clutch centering tool left in one of the splash guards under my car...

That sounds like an urban legend to me.

That sounds like an urban legend to me.

It would be true if it were an RC cola or a can of Hamms

Just to clarify (and I'm pretty sure this is what you meant.....), but they might put a can of RC cola in there, but the Hamm's can would DEFINITELY be just the can......the beer would be in the assembly line worker's stomach..

glass coke bottle inside the gas tank rattling around... and back then I used to tear down 3 or 4 500cubic inch caddy motors to rebuild and in about 1 in 5 i would find 4 or more freeze plugs that got knocked all the way through when installing and were just left inside the block water jackets... this was a common occurence on this motor which made me realize that there were either a lot of pissed off people on the assembly line or that they were just apathetic....
