I've been doing some heavy duty cleaning on my pickup with my pressure washer the past couple weeks and today I spotted something very interesting. It appeared to be an old pill bottle(or something like it) wrapped up in electrical tape and metal wire which was holding very firmly on the frame.

After much unwrapping I opened it to find what I'm pretty sure is an original key to the ignition and a copy to the side compartment! The key fits perfectly, how cool is that???

Many thanks to the original owner lol

 

that is a 35 MM film roll canister, not a pill bottle.

 

I was doing some wiring work under one of my trucks a while back and found door and ignition keys zip tied under it. Cool thing to find, I just made a mental note of mine and left it in case of emergency.

 

I found some film canisters in an old 83 cutlass i bought ........ They were full of illegal substances and the neighbor of mine who was a county cop disposed of them for me ...... So beware what you find hidden on or in your old vehicle ......

 

Gosh I'm having a very dim and distant flashback about a story from a friend or relative--someone found a Thompson in a car they bought..... Pays to give them a good looking over I'd say!!!

 

last year one of the local kids stopped by with a ranger he just bought, asked me to look at the stereo because only one speaker was working.
the druggie who once owned it decided a good place to store his stash was behind the driver side speaker.
i found 3 hypodermic needles and a container of black tar heroin before i plugged the speaker in and called the local pd.

we did a good look around the cab to see if anything else was in it before the pd took the drugs and needles to dispose of.
