You will never believe what people leave in rental cars
There are a few sayings that refer to the fact that people tend to care less about things that aren’t theirs – such as cars.
However, this is just another level of carelessness. Car rental company, Europcar, reported on the weirdest things people have left behind in rental cars, and the list is bound to shock you.
Aside from the usual sunglasses, wallets and CDs that have been left behind, employees of Europcar have come across numerous other frowned upon items.
Europcar reported that one car was returned to the KwaZulu-Natal branch with a pile of goat droppings in the boot. However, an employee commented that he wasn’t sure if there was an actual goat in the boot or whether the goat droppings were for good luck… Nevertheless, eew..
Another car, which was hired by a personal protection agency, had a hand grenade rolling around in it. ”Even more interesting is the fact that this has happened twice”, says Europcar.
Another car in KwaZulu-Natal was returned with a snake curled up in the engine compartment, which required a call to the SPCA to remove the serpent.
A branch in Cape Town also found guns in a car’s glove compartment.
The best (or worst) of all are the chicken bones. Europcar employees are reassured on the South African folk’s love for chicken daily, as they report that actual chicken bones are a common find (very grose indeed).
