My Dad has been telling this story for years:
Apparently his uncle bought a new car and kept noticing a rattling sound from time to time. It got really irritating and after taking it to various mechanics, nothing was found which caused the problem, and more importantly, nothing fixed it. This went on for months and months with the car being virtually stripped to the ground, and still nothing.
Eventually he decides to take the door panels off (not sure why you wouldn't try that first!) and inside one was a biro on a string with a note on it that said 'You found it at last'!
It seemed likely enough to me, but I've heard similar stories involving marbles inside the doors too.
Anyone else heard similar stories? Can any of them be verified?
