I would say 'Nice try FBI', but this was back when I was a child, so fuckit, here goes..
Back when I was only 7 years old (1989), living on a ~40 acre horse ranch/junkyard, my dad and his friend decided to teach me to drive a stick shift truck. Plenty of open space ya know, so yeah...
Anyways, dad's friend literally told me to drive through the pond in the back end of the property. It was only a couple feet deep anyways, so it shouldn't have been any big deal right?
Well, we did exactly that, drove through the pond, only for the truck tires to end up completely shredded. So like what the actual fuck?
Apparently I ran over a bucket to a bulldozer buried in the pond.
Well, as we came to find out later as time went on, the previous owner of the property had been stealing bulldozers and other county equipment, grinding off the serial numbers, repainting them, and selling them back to the county.
Yeah that caught up with him, I never actually met the previous property owner, but that motherfucker also had people removed from the gene pool if they reported him..
Lmao what a pain in the ass thing to steal.
