Unbelievable lost property items found in sold vehicles… from used nappies to family pets
WeBuyAnyCar.com has revealed their strangest lost property list, with one family even leaving their four-legged friend behind.
OF all the things to leave behind when selling your car, you'd think that rules out anything with a heartbeat.
However, a list revealed by online car buying service Webuyanycar.com shows that there really is no limit on the failings of the human memory.
The company disclosed the strangest items they had discovered left behind in some of the vehicles they had purchased, the most shocking of which was a family dog.
The unfortunate pooch was accidentally left locked in the boot when his family sold the car, but was fortunately reclaimed within the hour when his humans realised their mistake.
If there was ever a time to throw a dog a delicious bone, that was it.
Given the company has purchased more than a million cars in the UK, they were bound to have some collection of lost property.
One member of staff claimed to have found a shotgun, complete with a box of shells on the front seat of a newly purchased car. Turns out the former owner of the vehicle had been on his way to a pheasant hunt, and was quick to return for his licensed weapon.
Rather disturbing were two rather personal items discovered.
"I take my hat off to all our experts nationwide," he said.
"No matter how bizarre the lost property is, they will always try their hardest to return it to its rightful owner, no matter if they want it back or not.
"One of my personal favourites has to be a One Direction CD that was found in a glove box. After a lot of searching, we contacted the owner who turned up to collect the album. I don't think any of us were expecting a six-foot, balding petrol-head to walk in to claim the boyband's latest hit."
