Don't know if this counts since it wasn't while detailing.
Just after I graduated High School I got a summer job as a rental car pick up driver at LAX for Avis. Customer's were always running late and would just leave the cars in the "no parking at any time White Zone" and just drop the keys in a kiosk provided for that purpose. They were billed for the drop off and for whatever charges were owed.
And the other guys told me "just keep anything that you find in the cars unless it's identifiable personal property"
So by the end of summer I had a lifetime collection of sunglasses, lighters, assorted drugs (legal and illegal) articles of clothing, some I wouldn't touch! And an amazing collection of brand new, sealed booze. Some of it pretty good stuff.
But the very best find must have been from a big time coke dealer. 6 kilos of pure, unstepped on coke and two MACHINE GUNS! I was too chicken to keep any of that stuff! We called the LAPD Airport division to collect that find. But damn, I really wanted to keep the machine guns. They were Uzi's. In a carry bag with extra magazines, loaded!
Did also find an amazing large collection of still warm, unopened fast food that people got from the drive thru places lining the roads going to the airport. We always shared those with the other guys.
Never found any body parts except for an artificial foot and calf. I wonder how the guy forgot it?
