Horror I know but - last weekend i was parking up for the night and heard this weird miaowing from the back of the car ..... two tiny little kittens were having a fight with a carrier bag! Well what else could I do? Took them in doors and fell head over heals in love with Fudge and Toffee :D The dog - yep that really is her <<<<<< took offence but they are so cute and loving! And even she loves then now (couldn't eat a whole one!!!!)

What have you found in your cab?

well I found this M&S carrier bag on the back seat, I opened it and saw that it was an half eaten M&s sandwich, I left it there to see what happens

after 3 or 4 jobs its still there, they even sat on it, then I get a couple of likely lads get in, as I at the end of the journey heard the bag noise as they picked it up, payed me and off they went with the newly found swag

Some exciting things like mobile phones, wallets and umbrellas :roll:

I've never found an M&S bag with half-eaten sandwiches, but I suppose there is often a couple of pussy cats there :D

(Thought I'd keep that one family friendly)

Over the years:
False leg in the boot (on a hospital account job)
Glass eye (on a hospital account job)
Flight Tickets (an hour after dropping them off)
A little black dress! must have been a spare coz i deffo didnt see a naked woman get out :shock:
The usual mobiles, brollies, tins on beans etc

Going off cabs for a moment.
My old man was taking my mum shopping a few years ago when he ran over a cat and killed it. My mum being an animal lover made him put it in the boot in a carrier bag until they got home, when he could bury it.

They went in the supermarket, did the shopping and were loading the car with bags, my dad took the dead cat out of the boot while he loaded up and some scrote walked past grabbed the bag with the dead cat in it and legged it!!!!
Wish i could have seen his face when he opened it!

I think we had a similar thread about three years ago, and one of the drivers found a wife.

Poor sod. :wink:

Here is one for you was driving up a street in glasgow pulled up to the traffic lights. Next minute the door flew open, this guy got in rather quickly he said am late mate take me to glasgow airport as fast as you can, i said no problem i started to drive away from the lights got about hundred yards. From the back i heard this bang, before i new it i couldnt see for smoke, i panicked braked hard shouted in the back whats wrong, all hell broke loose i was pulled out my cab by men in black clothes, The guy who was in the back was on the ground with police with guns on him. Was pulled to the side still trying to clear my eyes. What happened was the guy robbed a security truck delivering money just behind me jumped into my cab, then the box he had exploded with smoke bomb. Anyway had to go to court as a witness he got time for carrying a firearm and robbery. Then after i forgot all that i got a phone call from the police saying the bank have been in contact with them for an award. So in the end i was given £1500 reward from the insurance company. That was a friday afternoon i will never forget :roll:
