Dickson City, PA -- Mechanics at the Gibbons car dealership in Dickson City say they've found strange things in vehicles before, but nothing like this.
On Monday, they found 16 pounds, about 14 bags, of marijuana, in the bumper of an elderly couple's car. Police believe the couple when they say they had no idea it was there.
The marijuana is worth anywhere from $16,000 to 32,000 dollars.
Gibbons mechanic Ted Ebersole was trying to install new headlights into the car. "They'd ordered them, and we had to take the front bumper off to put them in. So we did and everything just fell to the ground."
At first, Ebersole thought it might be some sort of insulation Ford somehow put into the 2005 Escape.
Then he and a few co-workers cut one of the bags open.
"We were shocked, for a while we just stood there. Then we got in to see how much was really there and we called police."
Police think the pot's been in the car for a while. The couple from the Jermyn area who own the vehicle bought it just last September.
They are not suspects in this case and police admit it may be difficult to track down who's responsible.
