First find of the year under a car seat.

in Finders Keepers
I am a car salesman/ auto detailer at a small garage. I was cleaning an extremely dirty car today and I found New Super Mario Bros. under the seat. Years ago I also found a Soncic game for GBA and Yoshi's Island.

    Ha! That's great.

    Nice! I once found a Mario Kart DS cartridge in the parking lot of Wal-Mart. This was when it was a new release so it made it even better.

    I always take the chance to clean cars that the previous owners had kids. Theres always that chance youll find a game. Ive found everything from dirty diapers to pot in a little baggy.
  • Modern8BitModern8Bit
    I just pulled the whole back seat out and found another game laying there. Never heard of this one though.

    Ha very nice! About a year ago I found Band Hero for the DS in the box just lying on the sidewalk down from my place. It was beat to hell but still worked!
  • Modern8BitModern8Bit
    Its crazy where you find some games an when they work its even better!

    haha your job has great perks! I found a copy of little mermaid for gameboy in a car at the junkyard a few years back.

    hahaha, strip down the entire car! Maybe you'll find a Mario Kart DS in there somewhere, too! Of course this makes me wonder what other interesting stuff you come across.

    Nice one. My dad used to be a bus inspector, and found game boy games.

    I have a case to that New Super Mario Bros, if you are interested.

    Neat and all that, but isn't this stealing or do the original owners no longer own the car?
  • Modern8BitModern8Bit
    They no longer own the car. My boss buys the vehicles from car auctions all around the state. All the cars are either trade ins or reposessions.

    Sent you a pm Enslaved.

    i bought a civic hatchback when i was in high school. when i cleaned it out, i found 3 license plates from other states under the spare tire, some empty bullet casings scattered around, a bag of weed, multiple empty booze bottles, an original Game Boy, and a Mortal Kombat GB cartridge. i let my friend keep whatever he wanted for helping me clean the car out.



    after being pulled over 4 times in the first month, i found out that the previous owner was a fairly notorious drug dealer and that's why the cops kept marking me. im VERY glad i cleaned the car out so well when i first got it.

    ah haha that's fantastic. I just bought a newer vehicle the other day and checked under the seats and such.. all i found was a few receipts. i feel cheated =P
  • Modern8BitModern8Bit
    Holy crap man. Gotta love stories like that geeze.
  • Modern8BitModern8Bit
    All the later model cars we get I never find anything good in. The worst was probably this crappy mini van an under the back seat were maggots eating what I think was some cheetos but it was bad.

    I once left my DS with case and about 8 games on a plane. Someone surely had a great Finders Keepers story of their own right there
  • ZombieGuyGeezusZombieGuyGeezus
    Ha! Thats awesome. I used to do recon for cars going to auction and the dealers would let us keep w.e we found. It was '07 and dont you know it my buddy found a PS3! Cables and all. I had never been so jealous lol

    If I ever find this kind of stuff, I'm going to smoke the weed and play Color a Dinosaur for hours

    One of my friends had something with a PSP in a plane. Can't remember if he would go Finders or Losers on that one...

    Nice find! I used to wash and detail cars so when I found stuff I didn't keep it of course, but was still interesting to find misc. things under the seats. I did buy an old truck once and found a roach under the seat. Well, my Dad found it so that made for an awkward conversation and lots of denying on my part!
  • YogurtStormYogurtStorm
    haha, BOOM! Nice find(s) man, at this rate, may as well check the brake fluid tank

    Nice! When I bought my jeep I didn't find any games but I did find a cd case full of Disney movies I gave to my daughter.

    Ah yes the joys of finding things in cars...my dad is a car...not collector...more obsessor. He buys junk cars thinking he can fix them up but..it never paid off. I've found some odd stuff..nothing amazing mind you. The only game I remember finding was a Yugioh game for the GBA in the explorer my mom drives now. I did find an old Sonic toy in a volvo before we sold it..looked like it came from a fast food joint. BK or whatever.



    Once my dad bought another explorer from a stripper who used to work in Vegas. She drove up here with it to live here I guess and he bought it. She forgot some...items. Dildos, vibes, panties...it was..interesting.



    The most disturbing stuff of all came from a cop impound auction. He didn't buy it but we found a "pedo" type white van and it had some used needles and stuff in it. I was pretty little at the time so I don't remember much about it..

    Forget the pennies in the couch seat, this is new-generation luck! xP

    A friend of mine used to wash camions as a job; he once found a Commodore game in one of them. As for me, the only time I've found something similar like that has been when I spotted an empty R4 cartridge on the floor, in a small street. It isn't even technically a "game", so meh. I'm not lucky with these things.

    I found Mario and Luigi Superstar Saga on the bus in middle school. I believe I also found Sonic Advance 3 in school as well.
