Yeah, there's a couple out here. Sometimes we use them but these trails have steep, rocky hills that trailers get seriously stuck on. So, it depends on where the stolen vehicle gets dumped.
When a stolen, torched and abandoned vehicle is found in this designated 4-wheeling area within the Tonto National Forest, our Jeep club volunteers to remove it. We do this voluntarily in conjunction with the Forest Service and County Sheriff because they just don't have the resources or funding to do it (it's harder than it looks). We drop them near the main road where the Forest Service has easy access and they take them from there.
Yes, this was a '90's model truck that had been stolen just days before. It was taken for a joy ride out to this area which is a designated 4-wheeling area within the Tonto National Forest. It was driven hard on these trails until it broke then the thieves set it on fire and abandoned it on the trail. Unfortunately, this happens often because it's fairly close to the Phoenix metro area but far enough off the highway that nobody sees it happen. Our club has extracted about 15 in the last 3 years.
