What's the strangest thing you've found in a car you've bought ?
I found a strip of about 120 condoms in a Merc 190E in 1998 and the guy I bought it off was a cardigan wearing retiree who had owned the car from new.
Less interesting but more surprising, I found a working glovebox torch in an E30 the other week

More Columbian than Morroccan...allegedly. The previous owner strongly denied it, before he was told what it was, apparently....

I'm not sure, that's more Afghanistan. They do grow a lot of coca in Columbia though.

As far as I'm aware, the certain varieties of intravenous powder can vary from chocolaty brown to an off white "hearing aid beige" colour allegedly.
Other species from other regions of the world typically stay white, but thats probably something to do with being mixed with Daz, to keep your whites whiter that white
