In the trunk area:
space saver spare
lug wrench
bicycle - type air pump
paper /plastic grocery bags
old blanket
bungee cords stuck to ceiling
half quart of oil
Hidden in compartments intended for parking light access:
$5 socket set
$5 wrench set
electrical tape
screwdrivers
crescent wrench
nut driver for sheetmetal screws on aeromods
knife
fluorescent cigarette - lighter powered light
Hidden in compartments that used to house rear 6x9" speakers (blown so I removed them):
scissor jack
jumper cables
old sweatshirt and baggy old jeans that I can wear over dress clothes if necessary
In the rest of the car, I keep a tire gauge (duh!), several refilled bottles with water (for people or for the car to drink) an air freshner, two child car seats, a battery powered flashlight that also has red LED strobes in the front of the car; my daughter likes to play with it at night on road trips. Luckily LEDs don't use hardly any juice.
I feel good that the back of the car looks empty of valuables; I never lock it.
I need to add:
needle nose and regular pliers
I also like the idea that Piwoslaw mentioned - law requiring a fire extinguisher. I should get one too and make it easily accessible to others from outside. Maybe on the back of the hatch, under the Kammback, or maybe that would be too tempting to immature boys walking by.
