Jeep Enjoys Seaside Vacation, Driver Less Thrilled
Possibly the Jeep enjoyed the sand between its treads and the fresh air because…
It dug itself in deep and before the driver could coax it out…
the waves invited the Jeep for a swim.
As of yesterday, the Jeep was still enjoying it’s seaside vacation.
We suspect the driver is less happy.

😜Sounds like a Disney movie from the sixties!
🕯Maybe it’s a surfer girl.
That’s all man, baby.
Did the driver remove the soft shell, or…….?
Go west young Jeep.
All that seawater will do wonders for the undercarriage.
A WEEK LATER? If I go dig it out, can I have it?
I’d of had it out already cause I try not to polute… Gas in the tank, 6qt. oil, gear oils, power steering fluid, a lead acid battery etc… Get it out [edit]!
Technically, yes. Its called the maritime law of salvage. Once something has been been in the ocean and washed back up on land. But 3 things must happen. 1 the property or cargo must be in danger of damage or loss. 2 you must be a volunteer, meaning fire dept, police, or any one being paid can’t do it. 3 you must be successful. Once you have successfully salvaged the property, you can contact the owner to have them pay your your “salvage reward”. If they are unwilling or unable, it becomes your property.
But has it been IN the ocean or just stuck on the beach? Pic #2 is a toss up.
Below mean high tide
or if the registration if the vessel is expired.
Aaarghhhh!
It’s called Polluting State Waters& they do fine you for that. It happened to a family member of mine& they were treated like a true criminal- it was scarey.
Deja vu… Remember the truck (Dodge) in the attempted commercial shoot some years ago…?
That was funny.
Wheres the 70,000 dollar per day fine?
Exactly!!!
For the title holder, whether he or she had anything to do with it or any knowledge of it.😠😠😠
Dude, seriously! And that’s not eveyconsidering the chapstick and uncontained sun screen in the console..
I believe the trick to get out of the sand is to let the air out of the tires… out of high tide anyway. First try using the floor mats in front of the tires for to have something for traction.
Yep, I don’t get why they couldn’t get a 4×4 out. If you don’t have experience with driving in sand take someone experienced with you. There is no excuse for you treating the ocean like that and creating more trash for the landfill after that Jeep is salvaged.
Lost Coast 4x4s would probably help them get it out
Somebody, right? Is LC 4x4s still around? That’s cool if they are. I can’t believe it’s been sitting there for a week.
Lost Coast Recovery is available for these recoveries. Check out their fb page.
Lost Coast 4×4’s is a local family oriented 4×4 club. Regular meetings are held on the first Tuesday of the month at 7:00 pm at the Pantry in Eureka.
I have the vin number if it’s stolen
Try calling the CHP tomorrow after 8 a.m. with that just to be safe. (707) 822-5981. It it is stolen that might be helpful. Thank you!
It had a plate still on it the first day, I called it in, not stolen (as of then). It’s been partially stripped since then, tag gone now. It’s also been moved, it’s facing the other way… waves or a recovery attempt, dunno.
Hi Kym. I want to share that Frank can recover vehicles stuck in the surf:

Love your narrative, Ms. Kym!
More humour. You guy’s are the reason I read this stuff. Thanks for the laughs!🤣🤣
Yeah so if you actually look at the Jeep it’s oretty obvious it wasn’t driven out there and got stuck. It appears to be stolen and abandoned. It’s oretty stripped inside, no plates, looks very rusted through and beat down and also has a tow strap hooked to back which is also broken. It’s close to dunes and there looks to be a trail where it was drug through. Saw it on Sunday. Yes need to be removed ASAP as it did still have fluids. Wheels and tires don’t look like it was drivable before. I sent pics to a couple agency’s hoping someone with the authority and means could go haul it out before more shit leaks into ocean.
The photographer said the driver was working on it for awhile.
Is that the driver hanging from the chopper??? Looks like he could have walked out.
AKA tea bagging
Could of swarn I seen that on Craigslist recently.
No mention of the the red Chevy truck that’s been buried stuck on the beach a bit down the way on the north jetty? It’s been there for 3-4 days now.
Yikes…Someone had a bad day there, too.
Another week… it will be gone… (buried in the sand).
Had an old boyfriend get drunk and do this once! It was a total!
The red truck still has a ways to go before it’s completely buried in the sand.
Hey broseph,
I’m not saying it’s on you, or anyone for that matter, but if I lived near there I would go empty the trash out the bed of that POS.
It’s an easy remedy before it ends up in the water and tide.
How often is this happening, otherwise?
I see the other picture of this vehicle above, it looks like someone or sometide already got the junk out of the back, minus the tire….
HOLY SHIT! What in FUCK is going on around here?
Common occurrence this was Saturday
Brings back memories!i buried my dodge out there like a dumb ass a couple months ago.all the way to headlights with tide still coming in.talk about feeling stupid!my friend pulled it out backwards with his Chevy in about 5min.
Thats because it was a CHEVY!!!
All of them vying for that prestigious Darwin Award.
Very funny title
‘I have 4×4, I can go anywhere. I don’t know how to use it, but I can go anywhere!’
Red truck was inundated and their tweaker trash strewn all around the beach including a bunch hypodermics. Head down to the beach to illegally dump your trash and lose your truck in the process. Now we all get to play and surf in trash, gas, oil and used needles.

Here’s the Jeep’s license. I took this picture last week.
Update on red truck that’s been stuck in the sand on the north jetty in Samoa
