There was a recent (few years ago) supreme court case about a guy who had legally purchased an ATF seized SUV that was later found to have drugs behind the door panels or something.
Also, the fiero forum showed someone who found a bunch of marital aids in a fiero trunk... ;)

this is too cool
My Camaro, for the past six or so years, has been spitting out those yellow foam ear plugs. Hundreds of them, coming from all over. Just when I think I have them cleaned out, more show up, even after stripping the car to a shell and sand blasting it.
I always seem to find porn. Not like playboy or anything but the real seedy stuff. The stuff that makes the collection "high society" (found in a VW bought used from a dealership) magazines look classy.
Knives, french fries, vintage matchbooks and in one odd circumstance chicken bones in the sealed rocker of a VW rabbit.
I find normal stuff
When I bought an '89 Isuzu Impulse Turbo back in '94, I got it home and started cleaning it up and found an 1/8 oz. of weed tucked under the carpeting in the back. Looked like it had been there for a few years. (no, I didn't smoke it - it was a notch above lawn clippings)
When I was a young kid, my buddy and I found a huge vibrator under the seat of a pickup truck his dad had bought.
I found a complete owners manual and an Alfa Romeo keychain in the "glovebox" of an Alfa Romeo Milano I owned. I was surprised to find it as I had owned the car for several months and hadn't previously notice that a glovebox exsisted unfer the dash shelf. :p
Much more recently, I found all of the lease documents in the glovebox of a SAAB I just bought from the dealer after the lease was over. They included all of the leasee's personal information. People should be more careful with that stuff in this age of ID theft.
When I got my GTV-6 I found the microfiche parts diagrams for the whole car as well as for the paint codes and other stuff.

So that is where the black hole that eats all my ear plugs ends...
I picked up a Sube Outback that had used, un-capped syringes under the back seat.
Luckily I did not find them in the same way I usually find all the sharp pointy things in the world. I still wonder if it was a heroin addict, diabetic, one of those nurses who comes to your house.... I mean, how many legit reasons are there for losing a pile of dirty needles in your back seat?

Only one that I can think of, the diabetic/sick thing where you have to inject yourself. A doctor or nurse has no reason to be leaving them anywhere.

Thats scary. I rarely find anything at all in my cars.
lets see... my first Probe from an adult owner-garage door opener, NIN tape,
My second probe from a teeneage kid- a bong, bottle of prescription ADD pills, many tools hand, misc stereo wires/connections/fuse holders, a spoon, change.
I was going to call him up and tell him I had his bong to see his reaction, but decided against it. ha ha
In my own car:
Micro fiber camera lens cleaning cloth.
Pics of the previous owner with his dogs.
A Ben Folds Five CD.
In junk yards:
Torn out pages from Playgirl magazine (ewwww).
Bunches of kids clothes and clothes in general.
Human hair and skin on a broken windsheild.
I use to clean out abandoned houses:
Porn of all kinds.
Penis Pump (no kiddin)

You can smoke lawn clippings? Damn you December!!!
I found pot seeds in the console of my Datsun Roadster and I knew exactly what they were. 
Unlike my Dad who found pot seeds in his 1978 Toyota Corolla and was wondering if my older sisters went to McDonalds and the seeds got knocked off onto the seat. 
My grandfather found a beer can installed from the factory behind a trim panel on his duster. As it was an OEM beer can and he didn’t want to make his car "unoriginal" he returned the beer can to the spot he found it and sealed it back in.
Porn (naturaly).
Booggers wiped on the front of the drivers seat.
Used tampons and maxi pads under the drivers seat.
Dried tobbaco/spit juice in the pasengers door pocket.
"Marital aids" consisting of whips, chains, masks, hoods.
Polaroid pictures of naked people in compromising positions.
A cattle prod.
A cigarette pack in an oil pan of a new car.
Beer can in a saeled fender of a new car.
Coke board and disguises in a car that I checked out after it was used in a bank robbery.
All of the above were from when I worked as a line tech for a major luxury car dealership.
In my own cars the only odd thing that I remember finding was a mouse skeleton under the carpet of my Spitfire.

Obviously spread over several cars, not just because you said so but because no one person is that massively awesome.
In reply to WilD:
Same thing with the loan docs from my po. I know the guys address, ssn, and his dads (cosigner) info as well.

Chuck Norris would disagree

Now its correct.
The sealed in stuff is the weirdest to find. I found a bunch of peanut shells inside the inner layer of the rocker panel when cutting up a parts car.
Other than that, basically typical stuff. I have an awesome collection of ice scrapers & crappy CD's. One of the cooler things was the first few service reciepts, window sticker, and buyer paperwork for the 91 Civic I bought in 01. It was stuffed inside the owners manual, and I didn't find it until 04 or 05.

In a 1956 oval window Beetle we bought for parts the main tube was full of live bullets. We only found this out after cutting through it with the plasma cutter.
For some reason its always VW's that have weird stuff in them.

You're lucky. It's beginning to look like when I got mine, there was an Alfetta dashboard. 
It did have an old Motor Trend with a road test article in the trunk, though.
.45ACP hollowpoint in a P71 (naturally). Not as good as a lot of the finds here.
