ALWAYS check your car's Rear Deck and Pull The Door Panels!

All-
Just a quick tip. Anytime you get a vehicle you are going to scrap.. Always remember to check the speakers in the back deck as well as the door panels. Ya never know what you may end up with. Case in Point. Just got a full set of Rockford Fosgate Speakers out of a car.

Rockford Fosgate Prime R1653 6.5" Fronts- $37 Pair
Rockford Fosgate Prime R1572 5"x7" Rear Deck $100 Pair

Man.. You and I are "brothas from anotha motha" That cupholder pull out trick has yielded me some change too, also under the back seat- is the goldmine. Last car I did- it was quarter heaven under there! Whoop!

I gotta say I have never found anything illegal in a car.. and hope that streak continues. If I ever do.. it will stay in the car.. hmburner..if only you lived in Indiana.. you may have gotten something someday. I don't touch that stuff.. never have.. never will. It'll just be best if it is never found and hopefully just shredded/squished with the rest of the car.

My Father-In-Law went through the "Storage Wars" phase.. he found a gun in some of the possessions he obtained from the locker.. I told him he needed to have it checked out at the police dept. He is an avid Gun Owner and said "Well its technically mine" I said "Yes you bought it in the lot of other "stuff" but you need to be sure "it doesn't have any bodies on it" He finally had it checked out- it was clean.. and ended up selling it to a deputy sheriff.

i found a fast food cheeseburger that was many years old in a minivan

Yeah if I buy a vehicle, I own all the contents as well, unless an specific item is previously prior to me taking possession, period ! That cd player, which has a serial number, could be and is more likely stolen than a 22. If you find a desert eagle in a 200$ car I would be supiscous, but people misplace or forget guns as well as anything else.
Why would you need to "turn it in "? Do you run the #'s on a cd player, or just chalk one up for profit ? Anything you find in the car could be hot.

As far as hiding places, on a 99 Taurus, passenger dash air bag panel lifts up real easy. Mine kept popping up and I checked under it and previous owner had stashed all kinds of paperwork about the wrecked car and the body panel receipts. Even a registration or two. Perfect place to stash a gun or dope.

As a side note, you know there's a reason they call it "dope". lol

I will soon be opening "Sledge's Car Audio Shop"
Just got out of the latest donor car:
Set of Pioneer 6X9 Speakers
Pioneer XM Radio Interface
(1) Rockford Fosgate 1 Farad Capacitor like this:


The beauty of getting cars with car audio- this one had a Zero gauge cable that ran from the battery under the hood... all the way down to the trunk of a large 4 door sedan.. CHA CHING!
