Title: Abandonded (stolen) f150 waiporous
Post by: 89cherokee on August 06, 2012, 03:43:13 PM: Found a buried f150 this weekend, windows smashed out stereo gone. Got the lic plate was gonna see if its stolen, how can we go about removing said truck? Really looks bad on the offroad community when people see that im thinking.

Let me know if you need a hand through the red tape and we'll setup a date to go haul the junk out.

Still running that 4 banger? ;D
I joke, I joke... Tow ratings are over rated. I've seen your 4 cyl. haul full size junk out, should be fine.

Anyone else get a location & vin? Should be easy to find, how far in could an F-150 possibly go :D

Waiting on ASRD, at least til next week.
Then it's location may change to " in the ditch next to the highway" ;D

If long weekend doesn't work I can do any Sunday.

They will then tow it if it's easy to reach or request help removing it. If you get a nice officer they will let you take it to pick and pull for $$$ :-)

Post by: vantagetes on August 26, 2012, 11:40:50 PM: CJA has been pulling vehicles for quite some time, ASRD usually call us to remove the ones reported after the RCMP mumbojumbo clears.
