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.

My fluffy steering wheel cover which I would be mad about. A small teal cabinet thing. A yoga mat and ballet shoes. An old child’s coat, a crappy game and my ice scraper thingy. Oh and a booster seat.

I really need to clean out my boot!

AllProperTeaIsTheft · 19/11/2023 19:43

A packet of chewing gum, lots of dog poo bags, a lead, a blanket, a few tools, a container of coolant and a bunch of CDs, including several of a local brass band.

Lastqueenofscotland2 · 19/11/2023 19:43

It’s vile… so maybe a rare disease. And an old coat

Rubbish. Buggy. Car seat. Portable high chair. Dirty wellies!

Peanutcookies · 19/11/2023 19:45

Snacks, maybe a coat, a picnic mat and my work car pass. I probably shouldn’t leave the car pass in the car….

Jesusmaryjosephandtheweedon · 19/11/2023 19:46

Designer sunglasses times 2, 3 very expensive car seats, about 15 coats, 12 hats, 4 umbrellas, 4 sets of wellies and a buggy. A brush, a hundred hair bobbins some books, crayons and maybe a packet of rice cakes.

StarShipControl · 19/11/2023 19:47

A picnic rug, frisbee, football, pump, first aid kit, some mentos, wipes, a book

LadyGaGasPokerFace · 19/11/2023 19:47

A pink Poundland iPhone charger
Some Danish croner coins
Empty egg boxes and snotty tissues.
Good luck to them!
On another note, I never leave anything ‘interesting’ in my car after I told a friend well over 20 years ago to put her bag in my boot whilst we went to the cinema. Every car except mine was broken in to. Guess what? She’s high up in the Met now 😂 my work here is done!

Chipsatsunset · 19/11/2023 19:47

A tetanus jab if they’ve any sense.

DiscoBeat · 19/11/2023 19:47

In one car: about £20 of parking change, some shipping bags and half a packet of mints. In the other car: an estate load of things for an early morning tip run tomorrow as we helped clear out my brother's loft.

Missingmyusername · 19/11/2023 19:52

You just reminded me (thank you!) that have toys in mine that I bought earlier.
Other than that about a tenner in change, a spare lead, a bucket and spade, doggy water bottle, poo bags, dog towel.

mindutopia · 19/11/2023 19:53

Quite a few horse rugs, which to be fair, is probably worth a lot!

An umbrella
A tin of mints

Some tissues
An ice scraper
