I didn't find anything cool like you guys have. Just some Sobriety Check booklets, business cards, etc. I contacted my local Sheriff to see if someone would run a drug dog around the car before I took it on the road though. They told me "Not a chance. Clean the car real good, and if you find anything just dispose of it." I thought that was curious, but I figured if they came and actually found anything, the what? Someone has to be the owner of it. They probably didn't want the hassle.

I found a pack of aa batteries, several spent blank cartridges, 2 fleet gas cards, replacement flashlight bulb, replacement tazer cartridge in the glovebox and under the seats. then in the trunk I found a 3 foot long hardened 5/8 inch chain and lock with the key and a spare set of wiper blades. the chain was bolted to the rear deck, I assume it was for a gun box or something. I was happy to find the wiper blades. The ones on the car were junk.

About the only "cool" thing I found when pulling the flooring out of my car was a .45 ACP bullet. Besides that there were multiple rusty screws that I couldn't tell if they were dropped during up fitting, or during decommissioning, but the amount of rust on them was somewhat alarming.

on closer inspection, it may just be a pepperball. still odd, just not nearly as odd as a Pokéball.
