Had to have the rear seats and floor coverings out of my S/tb forester and found 120 yen in coins, a load of pokemon badges & playing cards, a Pom Pom Purin miniture soft toy and a receipt from a supermarket in Noboribetsu which is the area where the car is orginally from.

The yen will come in handy next time I goto Japan and if anyone wants to send there Yen to me then they will be greatly appreciate

My car came with a red canister clipped under the glove box that I thought was part of airconditioning. On close inspection it turned out to be an emergency flare!

I've not found anything, mind you mine is a UK model.
Don't they clean out the cars before they import them?

You should see the state of some of the smokers cars........thick brown tar all over the dash and doors!!! No wonder they are so short
Another thing i found was a lucky charm warding off "evil" (ie saxos/novas/clios/gay boys etc ) in the back end of a Nismo prepped GR-R Skyline........the car was absolutely immaculate so needless to say i left it there!

So far I've found a small selection of Yen coins - probably enough to just about buy a quarter of a "penny chew" sweet, if such a thing still exists, & a couple of plastic shopping loyalty cards or some such......

No little mascots or lucky charms though...

1 MD, no idea what it was
1 sweet, from what i can gather it is a flapjack lol

and 1 coin




so not much in the way of expensive treasure, it was in my FTO so not a great deal of room for things to get lost either lol

Damn it, all I got in mine was a nice pink Impreza manual full of Japanese pictures. There was a very useful illustration which I presume was intended to highlight why entering your car through the sunroof is not a tremendously good idea

In the boot (inside the subaru toolbag) I found a touch up pen, only writing was jap.

Also the spacesaver has some fancy japanese script on

And the books in the glovebox was in japanese, still nice to have em
