MjPioneer Posted June 12, 2010 Posted June 12, 2010 Long story short me and a few friends went wheelin yesterday on a local trail we often go to. Ussauly there is nothing going on in that area as it's a good mile in any direction to a road/house. We have never seen anyone else down there so its a great place to wheel, yesterday as we were going down into a mud hole we stumbled upon a burnt out BMW in the middle of the mud. Now I've seen my far share of abandon cars out in the woods before but this one is a little diffrent. It wasn't there about a week ago when I went down the same trail and it still appears to have plates on it. The exp tags were either removed or burnt in the fire. Should we report the car? More then likely it's stolen, or do we just leave it? If we report it I feel our spot will be ruined, but at the same time I don't think it's right to just let it sit. Another note there are about 12 cars on this trail that are in similar condition, but they have always been their since I first started wheelin here 5 years ago. Including a few cars that were pushed into the old quary out there. I'll try to get more pictures of them for you guys. Best picture I have of it, didn't feel like walking through mud.
Automan2164 Posted June 12, 2010 Posted June 12, 2010 I would report it. Are you guys allowed to wheel back there? Why would you be afraid to loose your spot? Rob L.
MjPioneer Posted June 12, 2010 Author Posted June 12, 2010 We can be back there, but we're afraid that this will bring to much attention to the spot and they will close it up. They did the same thing to a similar location we could be at. After a few problems they fenced it all off.

They did the same thing to a similar location we could be at. After a few problems they fenced it all off. I would still report it. Or have the vin ran at least, and go from there. I mean, lost wheeling spot or not, if that was your car, you would want to know where it is, and what happened to it. Or, if it was someone's stupid way to get rid of a car that they didn't want, they can be held responsible for the mess. Rob L.
CWLONGSHOT Posted June 12, 2010 Posted June 12, 2010 I know it would suk to loose your wheeling spot, but think of the poor bastards who's cars where stolen, driven out there and trashed. That's quite likely what and where these cars came from. CALL THE AUTHORITIES! CW
dunl Posted June 12, 2010 Posted June 12, 2010 Better than wheeling back there, and having authorities of some kind show up and start asking you about a body they find in it. :dunno:
Incommando Posted June 13, 2010 Posted June 13, 2010 Could have been burnt up in an insurance scam but what if, as mentioned above, it turns out to be a key piece in a bigger crime? I'd call.
1990 Pioneer 4x4 Posted June 13, 2010 Posted June 13, 2010 Do the right thing and call it in. :smart:
wyk Posted June 14, 2010 Posted June 14, 2010 Many of the vehicles I helped the Irish State Police and Military recover were burned out cars stashed in remote places. Some had weapons in them, some had bodies in them. Report it.
JeepcoMJ Posted June 14, 2010 Posted June 14, 2010 call it in. and NEVER, EVER post pics or stories like this on open forums. it does a GREAT job of giving liberal hippies ammo against ALL OF US, not just you.
kastein Posted June 14, 2010 Posted June 14, 2010 Agreed, especially with JeepcoMJ. Hope you really do have the right to be back there - if it's private property, and you have permission from the owner to be there, I don't think there is much that can be done to shut the place down. However, the owner needs to report that vehicle, or you do, or someone does. Burnt out vehicles abandoned = crime.
MjPioneer Posted June 15, 2010 Author Posted June 15, 2010 We have written permission from the owner to be on his land. We did get around to reporting it. We were told that someone would come around to "view" the vehicle earlier today, Nobody ever showed up.
kastein Posted June 15, 2010 Posted June 15, 2010 Excellent. Well, guess it's out of your hands now... the wheels of justice turn slowly if at all :dunno: You wouldn't happen to drive a black (or darkish) MJ with a plow frame on the front, would you? If so I think I spotted you driving south on US-1 in Foxboro just south of the stadium a few weeks ago. If you saw a white mostly-stock SWB MJ going the other way, that was me :wavey:
MjPioneer Posted June 16, 2010 Author Posted June 16, 2010 Actualy....My good friend Aj drives a black Mj with a old plow frame on the front, what he was doing in Foxoboro I havn't he foggiest
akamcbird Posted June 16, 2010 Posted June 16, 2010 get the ok from the authorities to trash them, then drag'm out for the guy who's been hookn you up for 5 years :dunno: karma's calln
