Where Did My Stuff Go in My Car?
It’s a question we hear more often than you’d think: “Where did my wallet go?” or “I swear my sunglasses were right here before the car wash!”
You’re not alone — but don’t worry, your car wash didn’t eat your stuff. What really happened is a mix of good intentions and a couple of sharp turns.
When you pull into our car wash, our team may move a few loose items to a safer spot — typically the passenger seat, center console, or cupholder — to protect your belongings and ensure nothing falls under the seat or gets in the way during the cleaning process. That wallet or pair of keys you left on the dashboard? Moved for safekeeping.
Now here’s where things get interesting: once you leave and make that first left turn, gravity works its magic. That item you thought was in the center console slides right onto the passenger seat. Another left turn? Boom — it slides right into the passenger door pocket. And just like that, you’re convinced something vanished into thin air.
Before assuming something was lost or taken, take a moment to check:
• The passenger seat and under it
• The door pockets
• The center console or cupholders
• Between the seat and the center divider
It’s usually just a case of “the traveling wallet.” Rest assured, our team is trained to treat your car and your belongings with care and respect.
So next time you leave the wash wondering where your sunglasses went — check your passenger door. They probably took the scenic route.
