For me, a half finished box of Mr Kipling Bakewell tarts

An old coat from Sainsbury’s

A bottle of factor 50 sun cream

Pass it on!

On a serious note, a reminder not to leave any valuables in the car. So many break ins in my area!

My car is such a mess it already looks like it's been broken into so I'm note sure anyone would bother 😂

DaftyLass · 10/07/2024 23:19

My Justin Case, gum, a few pieces of driftwood, an empty Jerry can, oil, washer fluid, and some car cleaning products

A few scattered nappies in the boot. An old £1 I use for my supermarket trolleys; the odd dog poo bag if lucky and some chocolate in the glove box but it's melted several times usually and then hardened again .
There's also spare clothes for potty training on a good day !

Two cat carriers, a box a honey nut cereal, a duvet that's probably damp, and my winter coat.

A Pandora bracelet - I keep asking dd to take it in
Charity bags
Old uniform for the school
Secateurs
Strimmer wire
A coat
Dirty gardening converse

About 20 assorted bags for life. A Bill Bryson CD that no-one has listened to for years.

A spray bottle of glass cleaner and a cloth.

The locking wheel nuts (should probably not keep those in the car!)

Some sugar-free sweets.

A plastic cup.

My weight-lifting straps and an old face-mask in the central holder between the two front seats

Some hand sanitiser.

A pound coin and a euro coin.

A first aid kit

Taytocrisps · 10/07/2024 23:22

A bag of plastic bottles I brought to the supermarket for recycling, but then brought home again. Also, two bags of cat litter I was too lazy to take out of the car.

Serenity45 · 10/07/2024 23:22

Dog bed and old towels
Balls for the dog
Travel bowl and water bottle for the dog
My walking poles

Old school paper UK atlas

Empty water bottles, coke can. £1 coin. Booster seat. In the boot a king size sheet and a door stop I bought the other day. It's 18 years old not the best car to interfere with.

MrsAvocet · 10/07/2024 23:25

A packet of ibuprofen, some tissues, a small amount of loose change, an empty diet coke can and a half eaten family bag of Haribo.

DramaAlpaca · 10/07/2024 23:27

Fuck! My favourite (expensive) leather blazer!

I'd completely forgotten I left it in there.

<grabs keys and runs out to car>

TheChosenTwo · 10/07/2024 23:28

3 hair pins that I took out earlier and put in the little compartment and forgot to bring in. It was annoying me about half an hour ago and I couldn’t be arsed to go out and get them but now this thread has reminded me that they’re there! Other than that there’s a £1 in the ashtray in case I need a trolley but nothing else. I don’t leave anything in my car, I hate getting into it if there’s crap left in there 😂
it gets cleaned regularly too so even more of a reason to keep it tidy inbetween.

daisydalrymple · 10/07/2024 23:29

Bag of old sheets / quilt covers that I’ve shoved in boot as have no clue how to get rid of.
my favourite cds, as Bluetooth doesn’t work reliably in my car, so Apple Music hit and miss
a shed load of crumbs 🤦🏻‍♀️🤣🤣🤣

pizzaHeart · 10/07/2024 23:29

a few bags for life
old lunch bag (empty)
first aid kit ( nice one from Boots)
an umbrella
picnic rug (not very new)
a few coins
household scissors

Normalnot · 10/07/2024 23:29

about a dozen ice lolly sticks, enough crumbs to make a pack of biscuits and enough hairs to make wig.

ShikShakShok · 10/07/2024 23:30

Baby changing bag

Travel potty

The seat from the pushchair

Huge dangly earrings I wore to a party a couple weeks ago that I took off the second I got in the car.

Lots of toys all over the back seat and the floor.

OnTheBoardwalk · 10/07/2024 23:30

I stupidly left a cheap dash cam on display. They smashed my window to steal it but missed £50 I had in the glove compartment (even though they pulled everything out) and a very nice bottle of Glenfiddich I had in the boot for my dads birthday

i'd have been gutted if they'd found them would have really made their day

WallaceinAnderland · 10/07/2024 23:30

A water bottle, a blanket and an empty reusable carrier bag. First aid kit and torch.

I'm a practical girl.

VerityBridge · 10/07/2024 23:30

A large black binbag full of hula skirts.

JamesGetIn · 10/07/2024 23:30

Nothing in all honesty, my car is immaculate 😇🤓

Yuliiy · 10/07/2024 23:31

cleaned the car yesterday. So all that’s in my car is trolley bags, two bucket hats and several bottles of sunscreen. Enjoy robbers!

Pascha · 10/07/2024 23:31

A complete set of how to train your dragon books, my raincoat, half a bottle of deicer from earlier this year. Nothing exciting.

Redlarge · 10/07/2024 23:32

Empty water bottle

Pound coins
Mascara
One earring... took it out because I lost the other and now it just lives there for no reason
Tissues

Deebee90 · 10/07/2024 23:32

A shit load of tree branches piled to the top of my car ready to take to the tip tomorrow . They can have it, saves me a job.
