POPLAR BLUFF, MO (CNN) -- Here is a look at $150,000 worth of cocaine.

It was found by workers at a Missouri repair shop when they took a panel off a car door.

Police believe the door came from an SUV that was impounded by authorities in Texas.

The police chief in Poplar Bluff, Missouri says it wasn't much of a bust, just luck.

Chief of Poplar Bluff Police Danny Whiteley says, "Well as would be anything if you found a $150,000 you would kinda get a little excited. Yes, I think that was a shock. I would say this is lucky on our part and bad luck on who you belonged to part. Somebody is in deep do-do on losing that kind of amount."

Police in Missouri are now in touch with Texas officials to see if they can track down who is responsible for the drugs.
