Ok, I'll contribute

This is not a weird thing as much as where it was.....

Many of you (I'm sure) have seen those metal dishes that are
magnetized. We use them when we are taking things appart so that
things like bolts and nuts stay put.
Like the one below:

Well, I found it months after I bought my vanagon. It was ontop of the
rear drivers side trailing arm. I drove the Vanagon from Cincinnati
OH, to Ann Arbor, MI. It was grimmy and still had cotter pins on
it....

So yes not a weird item. Just placement.
