With our build up completed I went on a little adventure this last weekend to take some photos of of our Toyota FJ Cruiser. The trip ended up being a little more interesting than I anticipated. While finding a good photo location I discovered a totally trashed jeep.
The wheels had been removed and the jeep left stranded on it’s axles. The radiator, doors and rear seat had been ripped out and thrown aside. As the photos show, other junk had been strewn around.
I was able to contact the El Paso County sheriffs department to report that I had located an abandoned jeep. They did not show the jeep as stolen and after a few go a rounds on getting the location right (thankfully I have a 3 watt cell amp in the FJ) they turned that call over the the forest service enforcement officer.
The FS Officer contacted me after I got back to town and I was able to describe the location to him.
CS PD also contacted me after I arrived back in town and informed that the Jeep had indeed been stolen. On Sunday the owner was driven to the site and will now be responsible for the recovery of the jeep.
