Okay fellas, he is out.

First, this aint a kid. He is a very smart, personable ,and nice OLDER fella.

Until otherwise shown you will have a hard time proving part of the above statements.

Glad to hear he got out...as for the guys who were all for going in after him without seeking permission, etc, I assume you are from the "two wrongs make a right" camp.

As I mentioned earlier, I did some mild wheeling offroad in construction site or two, but one of the things I learned was to not do that again. (Not even to help someone else out) Instead, I think there was lots of valid suggestions about how to do this the right/legal way.

Tis all over now except for the Monday Morning quarterbacking/coaching, glad to hear that he is moving fwd in the right direction.

going in after some one with out permission is just as stupid as going in the first time. There is a right way to do, hopefully those avenues were utilized.

To RamJK08 (cant remember his name, im sure i butchered it), dont let all this scare ya off from here. we are a great group of guys but we take our hobby seriously. anyone who endangers our sport suddenly finds themselves in everyones cross hairs. As long as the lessons were learned stick around and learn the right way to do things.

I was just reading over this thread and wondering, if the owner of the land he was stuck on found this jeep on his property, what could he legally do?

call the police and let them handle it.

although i was reading this and its interesting...

although i don't think it would be considered abandoned, lost, misplaced etc if the owner of the vehicle didn't purposely leave it there. I think it would just be considered trespassing with a ticket, tow, etc. and if a landowner messed with it, likely trouble for them as well.

We, my neighbors and I, park cars in our yards, for a small fee, for a certain yearly event. One year I was taking care of my neighbors property since he was unavailable. I had a car pay to park and then never returned. A couple days after the event I decided it was time to deal with it since the cars owner had not returned. Called the local POPO, they called the sheriff in the town where the car was registered. The sheriff went to the registered address and spoke to the owner who subsequently said he didn't care what happened to the car resulting in the POPO removing it for me. This obviously was not a normal case of trespassing but it was effectively abandoned on property I was responsible for.

Maybe go to harbor friehgt and buy a comealong. I ve used it a few times, works well with a strap and a strong friend.

I'm somewhat surprised at all those riding their high horses on this subject. If I had a decent offroad vehicle I'd try to help. I was once a clueless noob and someone had to come rescue me. I still feel I owe them bigtime.
Basic rules :
1) Don't wheel alone
2) Don't go wheeling at any location where you don't know the owner of the property.
It's awful tempting to break either or both of the above rules because there's not much local wheeling and sometimes you feel that you need a little mud on the tires. Heed Nancy Reagan, "Just say No!"

You know you all enjoy my stories of the ridiculous stuff that happens to me . . .


Like the most recent incident of a certain person on a forklift backing halfway out of a box truck that the someone who happened to own the pertaining box truck had forgotten to chalk the tires on, thus resulting in the loading dock no longer being there when the forklift was backed out with a load of bumpers on the forks completely unawares of the rolling forward status that the box truck happened to be undergoing at the time

a box truck that the someone who happened to own the pertaining box truck had forgotten to chalk the tires on, thus resulting in the loading dock no longer being there when the forklift...

That would be... "chock", not chalk. Meter maids chalk tires.. some autocrossers chalk tires, but you chock a tire to keep the truck from moving..

NC State's finest..

They Chalk the tires, you know the outline, after the said event. Come on, you never watch any old police shows?
