Around 10 last night I was abruptly woken by a *hard knocking on my door and a loud voice saying "Sherriff's department". I sleepingly replied "yeah?". "Do you own a little silver car or do you know who does?" the voice asked. "No" I replied. "There is one in the lake and we are looking for the owner." He walked away and I looked out the window and in his truck headlights I could see a car in the water up to the windows.
The following photos were taken this morning.
I could hear what was happening thru an open window. About 15 minutes later a man walked up claiming it was his car. The sherriff asked if he was okay then grilled him for a while. The car owner claimed he was not drunk or on drugs. I heard the sherriff saying he called for a tow truck and was going to search the car once it was out of the water. Obviously that did not happen! I went back to sleep so I do not know what became of the owner! I have seen some interesting situations while snowbirding but this was a first!
Keep us posted. We await the next chapter.
