The fact that they didn't report this themselves makes me wonder what they were up to and that they may have known they were doing something wrong. If there story is legitimate and they were wheeling in a legal area, than they probably have suffered enough. If they were drunk and wheeling illegally they shouldn't get off so easily.

I didn't say they should have called the police. They didn't call anybody, even a tow company.

The proper authorities could have gotten the canal water supply stopped so that recovery is simplfied. Also the presence of the drivetrain oils in the water source is a concern ( I believe those are irrigation canals in the Bend area). The incident should have been reported.

Reported or not thats funny. For some reason I don't think it was by mistake its kinda hard not to notice that large of a body of watter, I think they were trying to go through and realised it was a little deaper then they thought it was lol.

I am willing to bet they were a little intoxicated, messing around on some gravel, wound up in the canal and realized that they could go home and come back the next morning sober to figure out what the next step would be.

it was entertaining last summer when some idiot in a cherokee sank it in the clackamas river, it was white with blavk racing stripes, as soon as it was shown on the news I had a dozen calls from my friends asking if it was my jeep,

The stupid stuff people do never ceases to amaze me.
