Previous Owner's Stuff Found - Photo Negatives!
Okay, so I'm giving the vert a *real* good vacuuming for the first time since buying it (5 months ago); pulled the floor mats out and find a 4 picture photo negative. Hmmm I says to myself...what might be on said negative? Put it up to a work light, and what do I see but a young lady posing in lingerie(!) Cleaned up the negative, and I believe photo's can be recreated. Anyone in the D/FW area who does their own photo developing? I'd like to *ahem* return the negative to the previous owner as this may be a keepsake, and having an actual photo may help identify her. Perhaps posting (a head shot) on the forum might help find her!
So...what unusual things have other's found in their vette from the PO?
*** Update *** - okay, so here is a headshot from the negative. Be kind! - This is from scanning the negative and doing my best via software to make it half-way recognizable.
I think I'm gonna have to have the thing actually developed to get any better clarity. Anyone recognize her?

Post pics!
Post pics!
I know I can only go so far on this slippery slope with any pics I post - so they will likely be just head shots or such. One of the negative pic's would definitely send me on forum vacation...

Just kidding. A local developer should be able to help fix you up.

BTW, the only things I've found in mine were a 1 Euro coin (my '00 C5 was owned by a man in the military who was stationed in Belgium) and a box of tissues from the Red Roof Inn.

I used to be an insurance adjuster... we've found many "odd" things in totaled cars that people didn't want to retain.
Best one... giant pink ***** new (but nobody touched it) in a box. We decided to wrap it up and give it to our GM

I heard a wierd noise in the driver side door sometimes when turning or braking or when taking off from a stop. Took it to the dealer and the found a For Sale sign that had slipped down in the window well. Guess the previous owner tried to sell it himself before trading it in. At least I have his phone number now if I need to ask questions.
