Now that's a way to travel. 
I just had to go look and see......
I've got an MDX, so it's a covered hatch instead of a trunk per se, but it's current contents include:
I really need clean some of that junk out!
I've got an MDX, so it's a covered hatch instead of a trunk per se, but it's current contents include:
- a first aid kit
- a small fire extinguisher
- 4 coat hangers
- some dry cleaning plastic
- a broken umbrella
- one of my daughter's dolls
- some of my son's army men
- some crayons
- and a bag of assorted crap designated for Goodwill
I really need clean some of that junk out!
4 folding camping chairs
2 boxes of stuff (games, cards, etc) that won't fit in my appartment, but I don't want to part with yet.
1 huge box of kitty litter, bought while on sale, but no place in appartment for it.
Various auto-repair detruis, screw clamps and exhaust patching kits.
Junk mostly.

I just had a thought. I wonder how much the collective motorist's carbon footprint would shrink if we emptied out all of the unnecessary junk from our trunks. 
Just a small bag of assorted tools and jumper cables.
I hate having a bunch of extra crap in my car.
Yes, I'm anal.

It's a hatch so not really a boot. I've got a bunch of magazines, one cooler (lunch box size), a pair of PJ pants and the game Fact or Crap. It's a mess and makes me cringe every time I look. Fortunately it will be taken care of this weekend. Just random stuff I grabbed last time I was in my old apartment.
I have one of these in the back of the car:

Believe it or not, I have absolutely nowt in the boot of my car. I hate carrying junk around. I do have underfloor hatches in the back seat foot well and I have an extending wheel brace in one.
Mind you I do have a cat litter tray and half a bag of litter on the back seat that's been there almost a month since I picked my moggy up from my daughter who'd been looking after her while I was away!

The wife's investment
Just a few boxes I still haven't unpacked from the move and my wife's fur coat. I should probably put the coat in storage.
I don't really have a trunk in my vehicle, although it does have drawers and a closet. It's a van converted into a motorhome. There's "everything" in there, including the kitchen sink!
I just saw that someone was declared the winner. No way. I essentially carry a traveling household around, with lots of extras.

Ah, good topic. Like others have said I hate a bunch of loose crap in my car, but I do carry a few things.
my 1993 400E:
>tool bag(not worried about the car, but I'm always fixing something for someone)
>roll of paper towels(never can trust the gas station to have them, and I ALWAYS check my oil when I re-fuel)
>owner's manuals in their handy little zippered leather case
>broken ice scraper(need to replace soon)
>leather wipes
>glass wipes
>under the trunk floor:
>>full size spare on matching wheel
>>spare headlight bulb, brake light bulb, marker light bulb, jumper cables(inside spare wheel in handy plastic basket)
I know it sounds like a lot, but it's neatly arranged in the little recessed area in the left fender well and doesn't move around.
Wife's 2004 ML430:
>middle rear headrest(she's vertically challenged and can't see over it when it's installed)
>umbrella
>cooler for frozen items when she does the grocery shopping
>ice scraper
>first aid kit
son's 1999 C230:
God only knows, he's 17 and it scares me to think of what may be in there!
To his credit, I'm sure it's not too bad as he knows that his car is subject to random thorough parental inspection.
