I was in Minden Ont. this weekend and this happened right in front of where we were staying. Some guy parked his SUV on the bank of the river and forgot to set his parking brake. It rolled into the river and floated to the deepest part of the river and sank to the bottom:

The tow truck driver swam out to the vehicle with his winch. He steadied himself while standing on the roof of the SUV while someone brought out a diving mask with a boat. He dove 10 feet down to hook up the winch. Status: the alarm was still wailing underwater!

Pulling it out:

Y'see, THIS is why you set the parking brake folks. Otherwise yer fancy assed SUV gets to "sleep with the fishes"
The fact that the alarm was going makes it even funnier... what set it off? :blink:

Definitely a write off. The Ministry would deem that vehicle non-roadworthy as it was submerged in water and its potential for electrical shorts and fires. A short was probably the cause of alarm being activated. It would be good for parts only. After they pulled it out, the owner was removing his personal effects before they towed it away.
I checked the closeups on bikini girl from the native pics. She's not that hot, plus I did not get her to sign a release. :lol:
