haha. at work the other day when i was walkign to my vette to go home i look on the back of the tow truck pulling into our seizure lot and what do i see? a black 2001 C5 coupe with 20 inch ghetto rims. little bit of askin and i foudn the officer who seized it. dummies decided to use their vehicle in the comission of a felony so now its not theirs no more. (drugs, burglary of habitation, etc not such a good idea now huh?) anyway, hope it wasnt anyone on here's car but it does look kinda sad locked up behind the fence with all the other "criminal cars" back there.

Ah...But here's the kicker...A person doesn't even need to be found
guilty before it is auctioned.

It's happened numerous times here in NJ.

They say "Oh sorry...Too bad."

Local police department will be driving a C5 as a patrol car before long. Makes for a good statement to criminals.

They often let them sit around for a couple of years as the car might be used for evidence.

Usually pretty junky after that amount of time. But, maybe one could get a really good price, not necessarily a good deal!

Everytime I see a car w/ spinners sitting at a stop light, I get a weird headache. Looks like the damn car should be movin', but it's just sitting there. Who came up with those goofy things...and WHY!

I went to a car show couple months back, there was a nicely dressed up
Monte Carlo SS. Chrome wheels, custom paint job, a major sound system
in the trunk. Its former owner was in prison for dealing drugs. It was
presented to the local constabulary for use as a DARE car! Worked for
me!!

Do you want a hyped up druggie chasing you around with a 9 mm trying to get his car back. I don't think so! That's exactly waht happen to a 1963 fully restored coupe that we siezed from a drug dealer as assets from drug money. Only difference was that he chased the new owner around with an AK47.
