Stolen car was run off a boat ramp in the James River. I'm getting ready to head out the door in a few minutes to go do the hookup for the wrecker. Apparently the vehicle has been pushed 100 yds or so by the current, which has been described as swift. I told the officer that if swift was more than 2 knots we weren't going in.
He started with the"we need to determine if there is a body in it" speech. I wish I had a dollar for everytime I heard that. I guess they think you will say"Oh, a body may be in it ? Why didn't you say so. Lets go!" In a couple of days the level of the river will fall and it will be a lot less current. No sense getting killed over a total loss vehicle.
We will see how it goes.
High shrinkage factor today-Some ice along the edges of the river.
