Cheaper than the tow? aka Recycling in the Pikes Peak area

.
So...You go muddin' in the Pike National Forest where the US Forest Service signs tell you not to and you get your fancy Ford diesel 4x4 stuck. You don't wanna spend the $500 to $1000 to have the offroad wrecker get you out...so 7 days later your Ford truck gets rolled over on its side by what we refer to as "the vultures" and your fancy Dana 60's or Dana 70's or whatever you used to have for axles are looted. A few days later, your Powerstroke diesel engine gets a bullet hole shot into it, and 3 guys show up in the middle of the night and try to help themselves to your tranny. Makes the tow look pretty cheap, eh? Now ... the tow is more expensive and all you get is what the vultures left you. Priceless!!! Note: that is NOT the photographers Dr. Pepper can. I guess you get thirsty removing axles at +9000 feet altitude.

That's awesome, this jerk got what he deserved. However, probably didn't even learn their lesson and will put the blame elsewhere...

Good god - this kind of thing normal out in that part of the woods? This isn't payback. It's grand theft. And I can see someone getting shot over this kind of thing.

BTW - someone should be dusting that soda can for prints. And pick up those gas cans lest they be polluting what's left of the wetland.
