Episode 65 - Recovery Costs??? Welcome to the High Sierra 4x4 Podcast!! I’m your host Greg Bakken and joining me is my co host Jeff Bakken. We have been wheeling for a combined 30 years and we are here to share our passion for off roading with you!! Episode 65!! This episode is brought to you by metal cloak!! It’s your jeep only better!! What's up Jeff? Announcements: October Giveaway: RareParts Ball Joints!! Main Topic: JEEP Recovery!! A Shop Is Charging This Guy $48,000 For Towing His Old Jeep Joel Ramer and his girlfriend got stuck off-roading this old Jeep Cherokee on a powerline road in Walpole, Massachusetts last week. Seems egregious that he was arrested for trespassing and disturbing the peace, but the $48,000 recovery charge is downright offensive. It’s unclear whether Ramer got slapped with a trespassing charge aftercalling for help, or if somebody spotted and busted him while he was screwing around in the mud. And yeah, you can be jailed for that in Massachusetts. But after Walpole PD rolled up on him Fox25 says the cops called what is presumably their go-to recovery outfit, Assured Collision, to pull the mired vehicle out. After spending twelve hours on the job, Assured Collision lugged the Jeep XJ to their facility. Ramer went to collect it and was given a bill for $48,000 instead.
