Love how you initially showed vehicles before they had tooling and any sign of disturbances and to shortly show the difference after with a walk through on what to look for and where.

This course provides valuable insight on natural void hiding places in vehicles. I found checking the flooring carpet and the back portion of the center console the most helpful.
