I worked in a tire shop for awhile after high school and seen all kinds of
weird stuff, animal bones, teeth, all types of trash and scrap metal. The
best was a lady that came in on a flat making a Hugh racket, jacked it up
and found a 2" exhaust clamp with the hangar jammed into the tire. Almost a
pound of steel total stuck in/ hanging out of the tire. Porcupine
quills are always fun too.
