Copart question

Because an addict has no self-control by his very nature, I was looking on copart for something that will absorb any spare bits of money and time I have.
Anyway, in the Primary Damage category I found "Chemical/Bio Hazard" and am intrigued. What could this mean? Anyone know?

I'm guessing that it means somebody left some bodily fluids in it.

bgkast for the win!

It also can mean blood.

Pretty sure blood is a bodily fluid.

Think that would warrant an inspection. After seeing the pig in a corvette episode of Mythbusters I would want to know alot more.

That's kinda what I was thinking. Maybe a gruesome crash and blood or guts inside. Some of the cars looked fine from the outside, but with no interior pics, who knows what happened inside....

Think of Marvin and the Chevy Nova in Pulp Fiction.

Yur gonna need Mr. Wolf

I don't know if I would want to clean up a car with guts inside.

I'd guess murders, suicides, and meth labs, maybe extra gruesome crashes, though there won't be much worth salvaging in most of those. Conventional wisdom suggests getting the smell of decomposing flesh out of a car is nearly impossible short of exploding the interior and cleaning everything.

I used to have a part time job at a motorcycle salvage place.....

Actually, I never saw any blood, but I did see some crushed fuel tanks that were so bad it made me have sympathy pains.

It's funny, I can't stand having blood drawn or watching a family member having it done, but neither the smell of rotting flesh nor cleaning up the mess really bothers me.

There is a mechanically perfect 2014 bmw at Copart ft worth right now that was the scene of a suicide. No damage other than tissue and about a quart of blood sprayed over the driver side interior. The pictures don't do it justice-it's super gross.

There is a decent 96 miata that had a low speed incursion with a pole as well. The car is good, but was totaled because of the low value.

One I'm waiting on is a chevy uplander theft recovery that was never actually "stolen" and is clean and in perfect mechanical shape.

Take a black light. If she starts glowing like Chernobyl, run, and keep running. You don't want that.

+1. I've seen worse though.

A friend of mine was an insurance adjuster. He had to appraise a truck who's owner shot himself behind the wheel. The wife wanted the truck back. There was a hole in the roof and it needed to be cleaned.
