Found this in my car- is it what I think it is?

I randomly found this under my passenger seat after a recent trip to Auckland, no idea where it came from. It LOOKS like something that could be used to pick a lock, and does in fact slot neatly into the lock.. but the weird thing is that nothing has gone missing from the car, nothing's been damaged...

Re: Another weird electrical problem

Thanks Kane, it's all sorted now actually.

Re: Another weird electrical problem

I'll try to get my hands on a voltmeter at work. They said when they put it back together the wires for the marker lamps on the fenders didnt reach, although to me it looks like they've plugged up the hole I had passed them through before which is why they wouldnt reach.. I'm thinking I'll hit them ...

ATchernv - 120Y Sedan

Hi all, Been lurking around for a while so I thought I'd post a few pictures to document my Datsun ownership. For now this will likely be kinda dormant as Im finishing off study this year but hopefully next year will have more time, money and a garage to commit to restoring my 120y to some degree. G...
