Keep digging through the cars and show us what you find. It is interesting. I bought an old Plymouth years ago with no trunk key. Crawled through from the back seat to open the lid. There was more money in the trunk than what I had paid for the car :)

My ex-husband used to have a wrecker. Whenever he picked up a car that was either being sold for scrap o totaled, he always looked behind and under the seats. The first gold bracelet I ever got from him came from a wrecked car.

We use needle safe gloves when searching to stop needle puncture risks. We've found that the real goodies are usually buried/stashed, in the vents in the carpet under the seats and under middle console, behind the glove compartment (pull down and out), under the seats (pull them right off), and under the shifter panel. Also the change drawer/pull outs sometimes are full. Guarantee that car with the coins and knives has hiddens. I would tear that thing apart man! If you would allow us to search any of your cars after you have and prior to crushing them we would be more than happy to, so let us know please!!! Take good care happy hunting!!

For some reason this made me think of when I was a kid, I'm 70, at the county fair they had a junk car, guys paid money to take a swing at it with a maul. Good way to take out your aggression.

In August 1985 I rolled my best friends 5 week old brand new truck outside of Colorado Springs, there were three of us and we were just traveling the country from Massachusetts to California and everywhere in between. We each put in money for gas we had just gassed up in Denver and each threw a 20 in the ashtray. As I was the only one not really injured just a bit dazed and able to get up and walk, even though I was ejected out the drivers window onto interstate 25. Lucky I didn't get ran over. Anyway, I tried getting into the truck to get our money and valuables but the cops and EMTs made me get on a stretcher and wouldn't allow me back and told me we can go recover our stuff from the junkyard later. I saw as they led me away from the mangled truck the ashtray was still closed. We went to the junkyard a few days later after getting out of the hospital. The junk yard dude and his wife were standing there kind of smirking and saying what a shame my friends truck was destroyed. I looked in the truck and the ashtray was out and laying on the floor, obviously no sign of the 60 bucks. I know they took it, the truck hadn't been officially totaled yet by insurance, so they had no right to take any of our personal belongings including our cash. However, their jaws dropped as I walked up to the drivers side blown out back window and unzipped the headrest and pulled out a significant stack of 100 dollar bills, its was far more than just a few too. That was a priceless look, wide eyed and disbelieving what they were seeing. I can pretty much guarantee that they unzipped every head rests after that. Just so I am clear this video is totally legal and cars have been surrendered or dropped off as junk. It just reminded me of that day in 1985 when after an accident that despite losing the 60 bucks I recovered my large amount of cash and it was a little sweet that the junk yard dude (who was also the wrecker guy) wasn't able to make off with my true stash.

I buy impounded 30 day hold, abandoned and PPI cars now and then from tow yard auctions. Mostly to flip if they are good enough otherwise they get parted and scrapped. Have found lots of joints and bullets. Mostly find unopened engine and trans oil cans and brake fluid. Almost all have jumper cables in the trunk. Also have found lots of tools and new parts. My Basset hound and my Beagle/corgi mix loved to jump in and explore what I bring home. They once found an unopened Almond joy candy bar. They ate every bit of it including the wrapper. Definitely keep going with the same videos Silas. Sad there are trolls out there that complain about everything. I know out of your 6.5 thousand subscribers I'd guess most meaning 99% enjoy the heck out of your videos like myself. I was glued to your clean out of all those cars and old farm implements. Keep up the good work. Thanks

Silas you are my hero. I have been binge watching your videos for the past three weeks and it is so gratifying for me to see you destroy these PHUCKING cars. No owner no sentimentality just profit to feed your babies and fulfill your obligations in the world of Cesar. I have done my very best to be my very best to restore cars to their original pre-collision condition for the past 32 years working as a collision repair man. I refuse to do restoration work as there is no profit in it. I don’t give a river dam about others expectations of perfection for something that is time-limited and worthless. I love the fact that you take the time to save pieces for wall art for those who can afford and are willing to pay for it. In my next life I want to be just like you.
