Abandoned XJ in Mclean
« on: September 22, 2008, 04:30:14 PM »
Hello everyone!  It's that time again... yet another abandoned vehicle has been spotted in Mclean over the weekend.  Apparently there's an XJ there right by the Widowmaker.  Thats about all the info I have right now so if anyone is nearby & has some time to pull it out... please feel free!

I can't make it out there for quite some time since my due date is today and I'm still waiting on my little one to arrive... but I thought I'd bring it up since you guys are out there more than any of us are!

Thanks!!

Apparently there is a TJ out on one of the single-track trails
Why does your Jeep say Toyota on it?

Doesn't anyone want their Jeeps anymore??   ::)

It could have been a ZJ... thanks for pulling them out anyway.  I'm so sick of picking up after these idiots!!!

HaHa, I think it's the opposite, Seems Jeeps are in high demand   ;D

Didn't touch the 2 that are at staging now, just found them there.

Can thank Lemon for the last one (few weeks ago) and hopefully the next one (maybe 2?)

Please make sure before any vehicles are moved that the SRD are notified with the VIN numbers as the RCMP needs to be notified

Do not do this. If you do than those vehicles will sit for YEARS before any authority is given. We have been there, done that. Just get them out.
Just pull them out to areas close to the road at staging sections. SRD eventually will see them and do something about removing them with RCMP.

Where exactly is the TJ? i have asked the riding community if they saw any on singletrack trails but no one yet has replied. Frenchy asked me to see if i could locate it. It is doubtful that the jeep is on an actual singletrack as not even Quads can get down the singletracks unless they bring chainsaws and cut trees every foot along the way...
so it must be near a singletrack entrance? or a quad trail? etc.
Let me know roughly the area
Thanks

The info I have from ASRD is that we are asked to report the VIN# and location of the car to ASRD, GPS is best. Once they have clearance from the RCMP that the vehicle can be moved and is not subject to a police investigation, missing person .... ect.  Then the car can be disposed of. In the past they have issued letters from ASRD authorizing us to dispose of the car at the recking yard. Keep in mind if you move a car and it was the subject of a police investigation you may be destroying evidence. You could move a bunch of cars with no ramifications but what hapens when you move one that was part of a serious crime?  You don't know until you check.  It takes effort and time but is the procedure they want folowed.  I will put up a post with the correct contact info for ASRD later today for thouse that want it once I confirm who is handling it. Make your own choice but that is what we have been asked to do by the government.

Blair,
i appreciate you wanting to do things by the book and especially to PROTECT CJA's image but on this issue you are being mislead.
IF you do it the way SRD wants it done, than those vehicles will still be there next spring.
You can choose to wait and be disappointed or you can do something right now.
i am done being disappointed, so my choice is to get them out as fast and soon as possible.

Crime scene...that's funny ;D You think its like CSI or something? Unless you come across body parts than the only crime is stolen or joyriding abandonment... 8)

Just passing along the info that was given to me Tom. Pepole can make their own choice what to do but should know what proceders have been asked of the OHV comunity by ASRD.  They can make an informed decision.

personally i think they should be removed to an accessible location quickly...  and further if they sit for more than a week.  like the nearest rcmp parking lot.

for the club, i would leave them.  i wear club stickers so i do what is best for the club.
