I used to detail cars 25 years ago for a local place here in town. A lady came in that owned the most successful flower store in town and wanted her car detailed. The owner‘s brother got assigned to detailing her car. She came and picked it up when it was done and came back 10 minutes later and said there is $20 missing from her glove box. I told the owner I didn’t detail that car or touch that car that it was his brother that worked on the car. He looked at her and said I didn’t see $20. She then reached in her purse and pulled a gun out and put it in everybody’s face in the lobby. After we didn’t get shot and finally calmed her down, she left and we called the police and they picked her up about an hour later and she told them she threw the gun over the bridge in the river.

I'm a landscape contractor, not a detailer, but I've experienced some pretty wild things over the years.
I imagine you might find some wild/incriminating items in the cars you're detailing??

I have found drug paraphernalia especially in recovered stolen vehicles and even black mold that the client was still driving their family around with.
