My nephew got his Jeep stuck on Saturday. He had to leave it there overnight and when he got back in the morning to haul it out, the stereo was gone.
As he puts it, "People suck."

Lesson learned: Don't go 4-wheeling alone or without a winch...
Lol/ that's funny. He is right, though.
I put a transfer case in a GC for a guy who blew it out mudding. I tried to tell him his leather seats are much too nice for mud holes. The very night I returned it to him he went out, got stuck overnight. Came back to bullet holes, a busted windshield, tail lenses and door locks.
Don't wheel alone. Don't wheel without someone who can pull you out.
this reminds me, where are the pics of tommy's floating trooper?
now for the obligatory other stuck pics. buddy's fzj80 lifted and locked, the firestone A/Ts weren't up to the task of soupy coastal mud though.
when it came out, yes thats muddy water running out the door
There was a thread a while back where some guy was driving a GC Impreza rally-style through some trails, came upon some rocks and smashed it. Within a few days the car was STRIPPED.

This sounds alot more like he wasn't just "mudding" and more like tresspassing......tresspassing or field hopping around me and getting stuck will prolly result in finding your roof caved in.
Someone abandoned a Range Rover on the Top of the World trail in Moab a few years back. A friend told me about it, I passed the word along, it was recovered whole. With no VIN plates. Hmm.
My sister-in-law suffered a brake failure up on Moab Rim abut 5 years ago and left the Jeep there as she took a helicopter to the hospital. Her buddies yanked it back on to the side of the trail from the small cliff it had sailed over and left it there. I went up to get it a few days later with a couple of friends - bringing a Jeep with only one working brake down Moab Rim is not something you do on your own. When we got to it, the open Jeep was untouched. The sort of wheelers who run Moab Rim are serious wheelers, not yahoos.
Obligatory stuck pic.

He wasn't alone, but nobody had a winch.

Or at least tow straps and a hi-lift jack.

Exactly. You should be able to leave a stuck vehicle over night (for whatever reason) without it getting vandalized. Geeeeeez...........people.
Don't put a stereo in something that you can unzipper the doors and roof on.
I don't have pictures of the floating trooper, I was too busy driving (err... sailing) it through the obstacle at that point (only the back wheels were floating, I went through the pond at a 45 degree angle along the bank). These pictures of people looking stupid with it will have to do.

My friends and I trying our hardest to look pretty:
Me being happy:
Note that none of these show it in its present state- with a 3" lift.

Same thing happened to my trusty Nissan truck when my son got it stuck while watching people mud bogging. And they kicked the E36 M3 out of the dash surround to get a $99 Pioneer stereo. Big men they were.
When I leave a vehicle in the woods, I don't expect to see it again. I've been lucky thus far, but I don't like to push my luck.
Truck in the woods = Free stuff to most people. 
I never had to leave a vehicle overnight, and I don't think I would. I'd just sleep in it.
Here's my mud pic.

I read this and I see a bright side. I would tell him to be glad it was just a replaceable radio. If it was in Georgia it would be burned completely, and you still have to get whats left smoldering out of the woods.
Yeah, but if he were in Georgia, he could easily find a better Jeep for $40 on Atlanta Craigslist.

And nobody was equiped to pull somebody out? But hey... I did a few stupid things off-roading when I was young. Fortunately, I got away with it with only a couple of dented fenders. Sometimes it takes a couple of "oops" events to pound some sense into you...
Yep. Always have someone available to pull you out of a ditch or put the fire out.
