But speaking of the other request - random lists - the following link has a reasonable random item generator for modern games that could be used for creating item lists for new characters. It's not so great for loot from bodies because I haven't seen it produce anything of a military nature (and sometimes you might get multiples of a particular item - like 3x chewing gum for example).

You can get things such as the following: -
a few keys, driver's licence, a few dollars, smartphone, photo of a child
pockets: nail clippers, dental floss
large purse: folding knife, bottle of juice, painkillers, soda can, chewing gum


If you want to mess around with a list of random "junk" items, the following list is also reasonable but obviously heavily slanted towards a certain post-apoc style game (a Fallout tabletop rpg): -

And from that one, you really will get some "odd" items! (Mannequin head anyone? Or perhaps a mummified hand with six fingers?)

If you're prepared to spend a little money (and these things go for about US$1.00), the following lists on DriveThruRPG might be what you're looking for: -

You'll have to trawl through their product catalogue to see if anything suits your game but it seems the company (Fishwife Games) has built themselves on producing random loot lists ranging from what you can find in a modern storage building, to a hunting cabin, to backpacks, to toolshops and even to what you could find in a dumpster.
