My one friend and I have been leaving odd gifts on my friend’s car with notes like “I think this fell out of your car” nothing of value. Nothing that can damage the vehicle.

    That’s true, but if the car is cheap plastic, then it might be fine.

    (For those not familiar with gallium, it’s basically mercury but safe; so it’s a liquid at room temperature but a solid just below that, depending on where you live, without the risk of Mad Hatter’s disease)

      Once in their pocket, if they are some kind of madman that doesn’t have a dedicated phone pocket and they have a phone with an aluminum frame, that’s a recipe for disaster as well.

      Until it leaks out of their pocket inside the warm car and drips onto the seat rails, or something similar.
