Dear Lord!
I just realized that I currently have the following in my van:
assorted knives, screwdrivers. A mini-Hack Saw. Duct tape, electrical tape, speaker wire, bailing wire, Twine. McDonalds cups with dangerous substances. towels splattered in red rubbing compound. numerous metal objects in various stages of decay.
If a cop pulled me over he'd think I was a serial killer.
Then again, with a VW Bus from the 70's, these items are most likely essential engine/body components so he'd let me off

Granted that I'm just a girl & that I drive a wee little Subaru station wagon, but I always have the following in my car: Nylon twine, bailing wire, paper towels, roll of plastic garbage bags, shovel, wire cutters, stainless steel hose clamps, bungee cords, bungee cords with balls, latex gloves and probably a couple/ three other suspicious items that I've forgotten about. But no duct tape & that's only cause I hate the way the edges of the roll get sticky & because I figure at least 50% of the other cars rolling down the highway do come equipped with duct tape...
You post about your van contents amused me and reminded me that one time, I cannot remember the time, we were talking on Fr I believe and an issue like this came up. What would the cops think if they had a raid on our den. People looked around and had a surprisingly number of "suspicious" objects lying around. I myself had a huge butcher knife on my table next to my chair for some odd reason.
People interrupted in their everyday life often look suspicious.
