Ever Found a Bullet under your back seat?

I was taking out my back seat in attempt you fix my back right speaker when all of a sudden I pop it out and there is a whole bunch of glass and a .22 bullet sitting amongst the glass


I bought the car last year its a 2005 and when I bought from the dealership it had 30,000 miles on it and there was broken glass in the trunk they said there was no acceident but uh anyone else have a bullet problem before?

.22 are standard rounds rednecks use to shoot empty beer bottles. Not surprising to find one kicking around esp. if the previous owner spilled a box in the back. They come in cases of 200+ rounds...

Sounds more like someone took a pot shot at it while at the dealership or while it was on the transporter. That is where the broken glass would have come from.

What kind of shape was the bullet in? Was it full jacket, partial jacket, hollow point or just plain lead?

int I thought that it was a hollow point but nope, ill take a pic and upload tomrrow, the point of it is grey,
I think the whole back windshield was replaced because it looks like the previous glass came out more due to the fact there is a square print on my car which I will also take a pic of

I remember when my cousin bought his integra he found a crack pipe tucked behind the back seat. LOL explains a lot of the ricer behavior.

If the bullet don't have the casing on it then check for bullet holes.

The mazdaspeed rx8 wouldn't have this problem because it's faster than speeding bullets.

It's the bullet and the casing I'm about to take out the other back seat later to see if I find anymore broken glass or maybe more bullets.

Who knows I might even find like a finger or something 0_0

No bullets here but I did find a kitchen Knife in my winter car (A4). It was really beat up and well used. My wife made me throw it away.
