Picked up a 2002 Ford Focus for $500 and the trunk had a whole toolbox in it

I drove out to a guy's farm near Bakersfield last Saturday to look at this beat up Focus. He said it ran but had a weird hesitation, so I took it for a spin and felt it stutter at 45 mph. Popped the hood and saw the spark plug wires were almost melted, then I opened the trunk and found a full socket set, two jacks, and a fuel pump still in the box. Fixed it with the wire set for $20 and now it drives smooth, anyone else find hidden treasures in cheap cars they bought?

The universe has this weird way of balancing out bad deals with good ones, like the car ran like crap but someone left you a whole mechanic setup lol. It's a pattern I've noticed where people always stash the exact parts you need in the most random places.
