Well, have you? While beating around the local junkyard today for a window switch I found a nice Kobalt socket set under the seat of a totaled out Chevy. There was also a large bloody spider webbed circular head shaped imprint in the windshield . Do I now have a possibly haunted tool set?

Cool finds so far! Besides the teeth of course. Between most of my friends we do alot of projects and working on vehicles. A good friend of mine found a mason jar full of unknown pills in a firebird last year as well as a box of .22 in another vehicle. If I could find .22 today I'd throw a party. The tools just happen to be the most recent find.

I like to go to the pick and pull here with a buddy. He goes and finds what he needs and I rummage around looking for change. And the occasional cool hood ornament or badge.

A badass lighter that had Las Vegas spelled in lights. They lit up when you lit it.
That's all I got. |

Yep, a complete set of 1968 Kelsey Hayes "MOPAR recall" rims. $250.00 for the set and sold for a serious profit.

I pull the carpet back on any pre 1970(ish) car I find in the boneyard.
Found a few silver coins that way. Not much else otherwise. The yard I go to has a very thorough prep crew. |

Cash, lighters, found a few rugar magazines, shit tons of electrical automotive fuses, tools.

One time, we found a turd in the front seat of a caprice. Not a petrified small animal turd, but an honest to god, freshly laid, steaming pile of people doo doo.

I spent a decade rebuilding total loss automobiles, and all the parts came from cars from the salvage yard out back. Found lots of cool stuff, and stuff I wish I had never come across.

When I was in junior high school we would go to the tow truck lot where wrecked vehicles were towed after accidents and look around. This was the 60's and cars were not as safe back then. Lots of collapsed steering wheels and blood. Many cars didn't even have seat belts back then.

Found a 02 Crown Vic police car in one of the junkyards I used to frequent for parts. For shits an tickles I asked how much for the equipment in the car, "Hunnerd bucks" said the guy at the counter.
Got all the lighting, led and strobe mix, controller, PA, radios, antennaes, sirens, gun locks, Video camera/mic system complete with the video that ended the cars life. Oh yeah, a shit ton of drug test kits. |

I took out the insides of a custom van (mid 70's) to install in my bone stock Dodge van;
panels fit perfectly. Whilst removing them, I noticed some bullet holes in the back, above the door; I wuz expecting bags of white powder, kash or sumptin to come falling out of the ceiling, but only got the cool shag carpet covered interior,,,,, |

when I was a kid my uncle owned James' auto salvage in North Little Rock, we used to go through the cars and find all kinds of stuff, everything from tools to hustlers we found a hardcover coffee table type book one time that was full of crime scenes gore and all |

Former bodyman. Hair and scalp in windshield breaks, one guy found a hand and was cutting off a quarter panel with a torch and about a dozen shotgun shells fell out as we were torching it. We did have an old guy that was the "yard guy" that would go through every car as they bought them digging out spare change. I use to screw with him all the time holding up a $10 or a $20 while I was pulling the interior and told him he missed another one. After the third time I did this, he started pulling the interiors for me . I would even throw in an occasional $10 bill before he got started just to keep him hooked. . Well spent money!

View Quote I like the way you think I wonder who ended up with the Pontiac we had when I was a kid. My brother had some silver Kennedy half dollars on the dash and Mom hit the brakes-a bunch of silver went down the defrost vents . I wasn't in the car at the time... |

A 45 cal bullet lodged in front passenger seat. Appeared to have entered through the drivers side windshield, took a nick out of the steering wheel before hitting passenger seat. No blood, just a single bullet. Wonder if theres a story behind that?

Whatever you do, avoid the "RV and box van" sections.
I stumbled upon the most heinous, elephant sized freshly coiled up dump inside of a '70s Dodge camper in a Pick-n-Pull a few weeks ago. I told my buddy to go check it out after we finished pulling some parts. He came out of there like he was on fire |

When I worked at a body shop I would clean out the car before removing the interior and I found joints, money and one time a bunch of pics of our customers wife!! It wasn't pretty unless your into wookies!! She had a fro!!
