I was just recently working on an old xbox and found in the drive a copy of an xbox game and a one and a half inch wood screw (wtf?!) So it got me to wonder what others have found while performing maintianence on a system: they either just aquired/working on a friends machine/ their kids' shoved a crayon into the wii, etc... ya' kn ow, that kind of thing. So what are your stories?

Consoles, I got nothing. But I work with computers and I've found more than once mice and peanut peels.

Several hits of LSD in a tiny ziplock bag. The cops were very interested when I brought it in.

I was cleaning out a dusty old Atari 2600 and when i opened up the console there was a very old wasps nest inside the body of the game system.

Opening up old consoles is very much like playing the lottery...never know what you'll get.

I was replacing the controller inputs in an old 5200 and I found a couple of mice skeletons and a GB copy of Tetris I had lost 3 years earlier. There was a huge chunk of the casing mising off the back and apparently the mice had dragged the game into the 5200 for reasons unknown. They had also chewed through some of the wiring on the inside, which is my guess to why the controllers had stopped working.

You sure it's not yours? :P This actually doesn't relate to the topic but I've had 2 instances where I've bought games and in their cases, there was a piece of paper that said "This game stinks" and "Why did you buy this game?" Both games though were very good :P

Once found 20 bucks in a PC I was working on. Didn't help pay for anything really, but was a nice find.
