Hi!
Welcome to What I Found In My Zipcar. Anyone who is a member with Zipcar is exposed to the driving rules constantly, whether reserving, driving or checking on the status of a car. The rules are based on consideration for other drivers:
Don't be late returning your car
Fill the tank if it is less than 1/4 full
Keep your Zipcar clean (No eating in Zipcars!)
Make sure you take all of your belongings with you.

Having been a member for a few months, and sharing the cars with various people whom I have never met, I am amused by what I find left in the cars. Sure you can call Zipcar and tattle on your fellow Zipsters but somehow that just seems wrong. They could face fines for all kinds of infringements and who wants to put that on their fellow car sharers? Instead I thought it would be interesting to post all of the amusing things people leave behind. If they are items of value, I believe they should be left in the car (Welding Goggles or lab samples anyone?). These things are after all, the property of someone else. Hopefully they will return to the car looking for them, and get them back. Do they really charge fines if you forget something? I'm not sure. By checking the car at the end of my reserve time, I always manage to take all of my belongings with me. But I have found lots of lost treasure in my few months of driving including:
Cupcake Wrappers, lots of Mike and Ikes spilled under the seats and bottles of half drunk Coke.
Wads of chewing gum
Unfinished cups of Coffee
Donut sprinkles and napkins from local donut store.
Sticky and stained seats from forbidden drinks being spilled.
Did I mention that there is no eating allowed in a Zipcar? If you are going to break the rules, at least make sure you hide all evidence of doing so!
Cool Welding Goggles
Eyeglass repair kit
Odd earring
Loose change
key to a SAAB
Broken ipod cases
Bike locks
Umbrellas
Backpacks
Lists
Directions to various places.
As of this week, I have decided to post photos of what I have found on a given day, just because I find it so interesting.
