Pulled a panel on a Cessna 172 and found a surprise from 1998

So I was troubleshooting an intermittent radio issue on a 172 last Tuesday at KAPA. Pulled the right side panel near the circuit breaker row, and a dried out candy wrapper fell out with a little note on it that said 'Hope this holds, signed Joe'. I laughed, vacuumed the dust out, replaced a loose coax connector, and the radio worked fine after a quick power cycle. Has anyone else found weird 'repair notes' or stuff left behind in old panels?

Poor Joe probably just wanted that radio fixed before the weekend.
