In this video of a man examining the condition and contents of a vehicle he won at a police auction, a surprise discovery has him calling the police.
Purchasing a used car can be a nerve-wracking experience as there are numerous factors you need to account for. But as one YouTuber recently proved, things can get even more complicated if you purchase decommissioned Police vehicles like the once prominent Crown Victoria. That became evident in a video recently uploaded onto the Crown Rick Auto YouTube Channel in which an unexpected discovery in the vehicle’s glove box of a just-acquired police interceptor prompted a call to the force who’d been using it to patrol the streets of San Diego.
In the video’s opening moments, the host is thrilled with the newly purchased vehicle, a potentially speedy Ford Explorer Interceptor Utility, after he picked it up from a San Diego auction house and transported it to his Sacramento garage. The plan was to strip the vehicle of all its various law-enforcement adornments, give it a fresh coat of paint, and sell it off. Indeed, the vehicle looks to be in solid shape from the exterior, but once the host starts digging through the interior, it’s clear the overhaul will be a little more work than he might’ve anticipated.
Specifically, he notes the vehicle smells pretty bad on the inside. Moreover, there’s refuse and spare parts aplenty strewn about, and when rifling through the vehicle’s glove box, the host even uncovers a functional digital camera. Intrigued by the find, the man’s attitude changes slightly when he views the images therein and ultimately decides to call the SDPD to report the discovery.A camera with potential evidence prompted the call to authorities
Surprisingly, the Crown Rick Auto YouTuber opts to view the images on the Canon digital camera during the video, doing so on the computer in his office as the camera rolls.
