Contraband found in my '66 F100
« on: June 07, 2016, 09:52:51 AM »
Sunday afternoon I was sitting in the passenger seat of the ’66 F100 I bought through the Purple Wave Auction and I felt in the pockets sewn around the bottom of the seat and found what appeared to be a crack pipe(as if I would know!). It looked unused so I wrapped it in a plastic bag and smashed it into a million pieces and threw it away. Apparently the Ford Co. Sheriff’s Dept.  wasn’t too thorough with their search. If it had looked used I would have contacted them to see if they wanted it. Looks like I may need to dismantle the whole interior. That’s the last thing I need at a traffic stop!  :o

Better check in the cab corners for small plastic bags, Alan LOL!

To my knowledge, that was an option on the '66 F100.  You could have a cigarette lighter with ashtray, or the optional Crack Pipe in a hidden compartment......  Pretty Sure ???

my guess it was a NOS Rotunda hydrometer. I hear you can get $1000 + on ebay. Either that or the sheriff planted it & was waiting to see you driving it around, then pull you over & find drug paraphernalia, seize the truck, & they get to sell it again.

This is why ya gotta love this forum.  I'm going to look at a '66 F100 this weekend, never thought about contraband.  I'll be sure to take a knife with me to hack up the interior to check for drugs, don't want to get caught up in a sting operation-

Turning in a used crack pipe to local law enforcement would not be my first recommendation. Can you picture yourself getting pulled over and telling the cop "Yeah, I was just taking this to the station"?

The only reason I would do that is because the Ford Co. Sheriff Dept. got this truck in a drug seizure type deal. It had little stickers marked "evidence" on all the doors and windows. I'd make them come get it too if they wanted it. However, I know very well the old saying "No good deed goes unpunished"!  ::)

Geez, the only thing I've ever found were dead mice and dead squirrels. I did find a dead raccoon once.

If you find drugs, I'd recommend leaving them in the truck and calling the police. You have records that you purchased the drugs from them, via a vehicle sale. Also, I don't think any cop would assume it's yours. No druggie calls the cops for them to come collect their drugs LOL.

Speaking of drugs, I was talking to a friend who lives in Colorado and is a cop. Apparently due to weed being legal there, companies are coming out with a wax THC extract that is like 80+% THC. They bake them into edible stuff, like cookies and gummy bears, and if you aren't careful you'll trip harder than a hit of LSD. A guy is right now facing homicide charges for shooting his wife. He was a regular family guy and decided to try the edibles and ate too many. So apparently weed does kill, when taken to the extreme.

We were in Sturges motor cycle event and we always stay after its over and one morning my Wife went to the shower and there was a hat there so she takes it a nice leather one, so on the way home we were sitting around the fire  she was wearing the hat so I was looking at it it had a zipper pouch so I opened it and a bag of powder was in it, how would you talk your way out of that one I don't think they would believe you. just luckey.

I use to go to South Dakota to buy rust free trucks then bring them back to Wi and flip them.  Bought a 75 ford Ranger XLT as loaded as you could get at the time, Had a topper on the back  . Got it home and started rummaging around and found 3 death certificates.. Apparently was used as a hearse at one time.. Bought it close to a reservation..  Kinda creepy.. Every truck I bought out there, the defroster vents were full of .22 shells, most fired, some not....
