What is your strangest junk yard story.

Well this didn't happen to me but a good friend. Back in 78 when my buddy Jimmy got his license his parents bought him his first car. A Gremlin. It ran as good as a Gremlin could but needed a muffler. Back then you didn't go to the auto parts store to get a muffler cause they cost $20-30. You went to the local junkyard and spent half a day looking for a decent one that would fit for $2-3. Well Jimmy finally found one and took it up front and paid the guy and put it in the hatchback and headed for home. When he got home he opened the hatchback and pulled out the muffler and started getting ready to put it on. He just happened to look down the input end and pretty big black snake stuck his head out and was only about 3-4 inches away from Jimmy's nose hissing. I think Jimmy just about crapped his pants as he yelled "Oh ****" and spun around and launched that muffler as hard as he could. It went almost across their yard before it landed and their yard was a good 75-80 feet wide. It's amazing how strong you get when scared.
