Indeed, it was supposed to hold a first aid box and warning triangle, the jack should strap into the spare wheel i believe.

yep, the jack goes with the spare wheel. the strap and harness you refer to was for a first aid kit. Never seen a car with an actual kit strapped in though!

And if it was there, it would be old and useless.

I use mine to keep in place 2 spare electric window components :-)

You never know when you need them, especially when the electric windows on these are pants :-)
