The cops won't even let you sell it for bail money.

My grandfather once bought an outwardly plain-jane '56 Ford with a warmed-up engine and aftermarket heavy-duty springs.
After they got his money, the seller advised him not to drive it in certain counties of Eastern Oklahoma. Apparently, the previous owner didn't want to be noticed when he was delivering something heavy. And he wanted to be able to drive fast if he was noticed.

Might not make for good challenge recoup, what about bribing the judges with it?

+1.

Our drug laws are so stupid that you could get in trouble, even though you're trying to do the right thing.

You don't really have to sell it, do you? Can't you just factor in a nominal street value?

Remember there is a cap on recoup value. You can only claim that much. Seriously, most cops (at least the ones I know) will take it off your hands if you explain that you just bought the car and found it while working on the car. They might ask for PO info though. When I was stationed in Fairbanks, Alaska, the post MP advertised that they would take a drug dog through your newly purchased car, no questions asked if you brought the car to them and asked. A lot of cops, local and MP's will do that if asked, keeps their drug sniffing dogs in training.

I would be afraid that they may want to search the rest of the car which might include a lot of disassembly. I would just flush it personally.

Call the non-emergency dispatch number and tell the truth. They will retrieve the drugs, search the car, and be on their merry way. be sure to have the Bill of Sale out to prove you really did just buy the car.

Do NOT flush it into the water system!

why not? is a couple grams of smack really more hazardous to the water supply than the double-flush deuce i rocked a few minutes ago?

Heroin in the shifter? Does that make you shift faster or something?

I found a crack pipe and some crack in the dash of an old car I bought one time I wondered why the windows where spray painted black. I just threw it away didn't even cross my mind to tell the cops about it.

What he said.

I was expecting something like that in the Neon...all I found were condoms and lube. And some sort of gay pride CD.

Man this thread is comic, however serious it might be, I think a thread needs to be started with 'strange things found in my new used XXX' (no pun intended on the whole XXX condom/lube thing)...

Sure you can, on both accounts, but don't expect it to count on your challenge budget. The first one is illegal, and you can't expect a national publication to condone illegal activity. The second one is just common sense. You can't expect to put money back into your budget that doesn't exist. Use your head, don't be a joedapro.
