    I used to work at a dealership detailing used cars...usually the money that was in the open was taken by the salesmen or techs who saftied the cars...then I got to them...busted out my 3/8 impact, and zipped out the front seats to hand scrub the carpet underneath...and reap the spare change nobody else would dig for...once pulled close to $5 in change out of a VW Jetta...I never found a whole bunch, but enough to keep a nice piggy bank on my bench and never have to use my own money on the vending machines...



    I actually got happier finding parts in cars that people traded in and I cleaned up for them to go straight to auction...found oil filters, relays, tools (cheap hand tools, but tools all the same), cell phones, portable cd players, knick knacks...and those nice headlight bulbs that are $10-$15 a piece at the parts store.

    Once found an EXPENSIVE ring, under the spare tire in the trunk...kinda thought about pawning it, but then my better side kicked my evil sides a**, turned the ring in, woman shows up next day happier than a pig in crap and hands me a $50 Best Buy giftcard...can't argue with that.
