Includes random plastic tubing and piping, ear protection, hat and clothing, coat hangers, rubber gloves, WD40, plastic tub, tape measure, knife, Book ‘The rise and fall of Adolf Hitler’, padlock, a CD of Handel’s orchestral music, children’s books … and a receipt from Coburg for a relatively large amount of cough syrup and throat lozenges (containing pseudoephedrine: a sought-after chemical precursor in the illicit manufacture of methamphetamine).
