I found a FJ...can I keep it?

[kai38]

On the way home from work this afternoon I found a nice white FJ Cruiser stuck in the mighty Rio Grande river in El Paso, TX.
Not sure when it got there, during the night or sometime this morning.
Looks like they tried to strap it out but I don't see any tire marks at the rear end of the cruiser but there a crappy strap hooked to the rear & floating in the water.
I pass this way a few times during the day & will get more pictures of the recover if I catch it.

Hmmm, Maritime law - finders and recoverers -keepers ??? heh heh

Report it as "found" maybe it is stolen.


After 30 days and nobody claims it, maybe the LEO will giv it to you.

What's the limit on Toyotas in New Mexico? If it's only one, I'd throw the FJ back, switch bait and try to catch yourself a solid front axle.

Drug running truck or stolen? It has to be. That's too nice of a rig for someone to just up and leave like that.... Now, if it were a base model - especially Black Cherry...

I was there when the owner came back to recover the FJ. It was a kid out wheeling found a way to get in to the river and got it stuck, said it was his dads cruiser. Got it stuck the night before about 12:30 am. Had to wait for his friends to get around to come out and help get it out. Not stolen, by the time PD did show up they were all gone.
