What have you found in the pockets and compartments of charity shop purchases?

On the back of chirpycheaps's comment about the used plasters and old tissues they found in a handbag they bought from a charity shop, I wondered:
What sort of things have you found in the pockets and compartments of things you've bought from a charity shop? Or inside things you've received as a hand-me-down?

When I was cleaning it down the back of it I found £6.70 in change. Totally expected nothing other than crumbs and fluff so this was quite a change pardon the pun:)
I bought the coat and slipped the £30 into the collecting tin on the counter.
Lots of jackets & coats seem to have tissues in the pocket.
I bought a sheepskin coat from a charity shop and it had a complimentary brush with the name of the company (Nurseys) on it.
As a customer elsewhere in more recent years I bought a backpack for £3 and in one of the many pockets found £10 note.
And not quite the same but I had a second hand Lada (honestly, if they had charity shops for cars it would have been in one) which I eventually sold on and the new owners rang me to ask if I'd lost some jewellery because they'd found some under the boot carpet. I couldn't think if I'd lost any so flannelled a bit and they saw through me and didn't bring it round to find out!
