That new car smell?

Recently we purchased a car for Kaytlin from a friend of a neighbor. They said they were desperate for a down payment for a place to live and that was why they needed to get rid of the car. We were desperate for a car for Kaytlin, and it was a great price. The car runs great, has a/c, the interior is in good condition. It smelled a little funky, since they are smokers, but a little air freshener, OK a LOT of Febreeze later, and it smells fine now.
The only problem is that the guy was way out of town at a mud car thingy and lost the keys. Apparently the only set of keys, and he wasn't about to go digging in the mud for them, so they tore out the key thing and hot wired it. So now you have to use a pliers to start and shut off the car. It gives good memories, right? LOL "Remember your first car, when you had to have a pliers to start it? Good times!"

It has been a few weeks now, and no issues, love the car. But yesterday our neighbor was talking to me when Kaytlin pulled up and he went over and asked permission to search the car for something that they lost in it and hadn't found. "But I'm not gonna tell you what it is." Mmm hmm. I told him that my daughter is 18 years old and a good kid, he better get that out of the car NOW.
Turns out the reason they had to dump the car was because the owner got a DWI in it and they had hidden a joint in the fabric of the passenger seat. They sold the car fast and after finally getting the police report and finding out the police had not found the joint, they wanted to find it. He did, and even showed it to me.

Isn't that crazy! That just frustrates me. The very first day Kaytlin drove it she was pulled over in the car. Can you imagine the trouble she could have been in? For the most part they are great neighbors, but that was not cool.
