Maccruiskeen - please elaborate

Thats what the copper said 🙂

The burnt corpse was being used as part of a theatre performance and had to be set alight during each show so had a fabricated steel skeleton and was and wrapped in glass fibre cloth so that it could be burned without being burnt up if that makes sense. The orginal prop maker had copied a medical skelton but the one he copied was standing so it looked funny lying down. My job was to break all its limbs and re-weld so it lay on the floor more naturally. The box was something I'd been asked to pick up on the way so I was as surprised as the police were when I opened it 🙂

Just off the top of my head, a big Ikea carry bag with a waterproof dayglo and reflective jacket just in case, a 5ltr plastic chemical bottle full of screen wash, (the Octy takes 5 litres at a time), a blanket, and a couple of those big blanket things that removals people use to protect stuff, to cover the boot area when carrying a bike, a new Aldi sleeping bag in its bag, a couple of walking sticks I've made, for when I'm out walking on slippy ground, my Muckboots, an electric air pump for air mattresses, and a little case thing with spare bulbs, fuses, a few tools, and a nine-ton orange webbing tow-rope. Just in case, had it for years, not needed it yet.

Plenty of quick release straps, some plastic sheeting and a knife. Really.

I also have some eye protection goggles, rubber gloves and a couple of throw away overalls.

All the modern day serial killer needs. Or industrial site visitor.

Not as strange as some, but I'm probably the only one here with 2 unicycles in my boot. If inside the front counts for stuff which doesn't fit in the boot, then a wing kayak paddle too.

Over the years we have found various things in customers boots while checking spare tyres etc
Complete embalming kit
Bee keeping equipment, hood/smoke pump etc
Gay porn mags, customer was a family man.
24 inch double ender
Boot full to top with empty red bull cans, it was a golf the guy had taken out luggage shelf and just threw the empty cans over his shoulder when finished

It is amazing the amount of general junk people carry in their boot year round

Used to have an old Landy with corn growing in the back.
.
Leaked a bit so carpet was damp, spilt a bag of chicken feed, noticed some sprouting and left it to see how big it would get. About 3".
.
I have moss growing on the sliding door runner of my current van.
