looks like a coaxial cable wire, maybe he had a tv in there

Seriously though it was probably for an antenna but I don't think it's a stock wire.

Breaker breaker 1-9 cb?
Maybe Sirius or xm. I've never hacked the wires open to look. Where does the other end lead?

Also could have been for a car phone antenna. Regardless, not stock, it can go.

My rule of thumb for suspicious wires- trace it, see what it's connected to, remove it safely. Avoid a car fire.
