Ill fess up, my ute is a pig sty. I have to carry a huge variety of gear for the farm,and its just not practical to take my boots off each time I get in the the cab. That said my ute is looked after scrupulously mechanically. And when it goes for a service, it is always cleaned out.

When I worked for First security, the smell in my work car was unreal, when I enquired about it, they found out it was from P, being smoked in the car, must be to keep the previous driver awake or somethin.

Some of the cars I used to buy from Hammers Auctions were pretty bad. It wasn't the rubbish in them but that they had water leaks, food stains on the seats.

A few cars ago I bought a car with a pair of fairly sexy women's knickers (no, I didn't sniff them) in the boot. The car was a repo but otherwise tidy. I had it for a couple of years but just left them there for the new owner to.enjoy.

As a dealer, I have found everything imaginable, except human faeces. (including used condoms). Humans can be truly disgusting.

I can honestly say no you havent Full nappies,sex toys,used tampons,animal feces and bloodare just some of the "items" found in trade in vehicles. The very worst case we literally shovelled the rubbish out and water blasted the interior to begin to get it clean

Sorry but nothing is worse then what turns up in a wreckers yard in the old days (20 ish years ago). We had the rejects from the back yards / car yards/ auction yards/ clearance yards./ police impound/(& lost N found) yards Some should have been torched while the owner driver was still in it when they "drove" towed in.
Saw a Ford Laser last year that the guy appeared to be padding with fast food shop newspapers/ coffee cups /TRAYS/ cup trays etc etc It was up to the top of all the seat backs with ONLY the drivers seat clear.

I've had some pretty shocking trade-ins, but the worst are some of the repo's I've valued. Pretty much everything you've listed above, but mixed, shaken and stirred. you know it's bad when an extended family of cockroaches pours out of the seat covers, vents and holes in the carpets. Or rats in the back. Or a family of wetas in the door seals. All this, mixed with thick, black human grease worked into every crease and gap inside.
thats gross, at least you can see whats coming (almost), break downs at night are a lucky dip, the shit i've come across while lifting the rear seats to get at the fuel pump, i'm sure half of Auckland lives on take aways
