Just stepped out of mine and made a note that if someone broke into mine they would find designer prescription sunshades, designer regular sunshades, a cheap pair of glasses, a coin purse with about 50 quid in it, 2 dog leads, an umberela, a denim jacket and shopping bags.

Absolutely nothing of any value sat nav and cd player are factory built in so would be more trouble to get ouut and no real sale value

FatOaf · 19/11/2023 15:07

A load of crisp crumbs and several CDs with a resale value of approx £0.25.

user18 · 19/11/2023 15:08

A large umbrella, a bar of dairy milk, a bottle of sunflowers perfume (reminds me of the 90s) and my bra..

MagentaRocks · 19/11/2023 15:08

A throw covered in dog hair, some bags for life and a metal straw

ISeeARedDoorAndIWantToBreakIn · 19/11/2023 15:09

A big disappointment.

Ohhelpicantthinkofaname · 19/11/2023 15:09

2 pairs of muddy wellies, some dance stuff, assorted crap from the floor, maybe a total of £1 in change a random book that seems to have been in there for ever.

mrsbyers · 19/11/2023 15:10

About three empty drinks cans a hard hat and some safety shoes oh and a dog blanket

I have a work car and a personal car. My personal car was last used for tip runs at the end of October for some real gnarly things that have been sat in the garden getting wet like the summer pool that got popped and logs. When my daughter got in and pulled down the mirror on the sunvisor there was a huuuge spider so I think they will find a swampy ecosystem and stuff from their nightmares. Funny because I was telling DP today that I am scared to get in it again. I'm waiting for payday to get it properly cleaned.

My work car has 2 x iPhone chargers, several lipglosses, receipts and wrappers.

Hibernatalie · 19/11/2023 15:10

McDonald's wrappers and about £3 worth of petrol.

CornedBeef451 · 19/11/2023 15:12

Tic tacs and a very sandy bodyboard that's been in there since the summer.

ILoveBodyShopSheaButter · 19/11/2023 15:14

A load of free air because I don't have a car! 😊

margotrose · 19/11/2023 15:14

Some stale dog biscuits
Poo bags
A soggy, filthy tennis ball
A spare dog lead
Some Cadbury's "Snowmen"
A doggy seat "hammock" thing.

Nothing of any value whatsoever Grin

RocketIceLollie · 19/11/2023 15:14

Got a football of my boys in the boot along with some de-icer and ice scraper. Perhaps a towel in there too. Oh and my music player that's plugged into the stereo.

GasDrivenNun · 19/11/2023 15:14

Nothing at all. New car (to me) so no stuff in it yet.

AutumnFroglets · 19/11/2023 15:15

Plastic shopping bags with holes in (4 yrs old), kitchen roll, mask, pen and notebook, umbrella, walking stick and puzzle book.

Things worth nicking are my blue badge and tyre inflator.

RampantIvy · 19/11/2023 15:15

Some prescription sunglasses - no use to anyone other than me, a first aid kit, an old satnav, some £1 coins kept for parking and a map.

Bax765 · 19/11/2023 15:16

A load of old fencing in the back ready to go to the tip, about 5 coats, 2 travel mugs, multiple pieces of school 'artwork' and a lot of crumbs..!

BeingATwatItsABingThing · 19/11/2023 15:16

A pretty good electric pump, some blankets, a couple of toys, a compact buggy… I keep nothing of value in there that people would want to steal. Although one of the blankets was from Disneyland so actually pretty damn expensive.

Cotswoldbee · 19/11/2023 15:16

Two dog travel baskets, several umbrellas, multiple shopping bags and about £1 in loose change.
They would find it nice and clean inside and with a full tank of petrol.

PurBal · 19/11/2023 15:16

Pushchair with rain cover, ergobaby omni 360 carrier, 2 car seats, first aid kit, phone charger. There might be a packet of tissues and a pen in there too.

FaiIureToLunch · 19/11/2023 15:17

Riding hat, yoga mat, hockey sticks and my sons rugby kit. Which makes us look sporty and is completely deceptive 😂😂😂

TheDandyLion · 19/11/2023 15:18

They wouldn't get very far because the battery is disconnected as it keeps shorting out the lights.

They're welcome to the 2013 AA map or the smelly dog blanket if they want it.

TodayForTomorrow · 19/11/2023 15:18

A few pens, some working. An empty can of fanta, a couple of children's books and some revision guides.

toycat · 19/11/2023 15:19

A load of rubbish for the tip

Rjahdhdvd · 19/11/2023 15:20

Did you leave that stuff in it? Mine has coats and an inexpensive pram. I don’t leave valuables in it
