As Ferrari buried

This story happened in Los Angeles in 1978, when, according to the newspaper, the children play in the backyard of a house found a piece of the film protruding from the ground. When they decided to dig it, we found that under the film, just a few centimeters under the ground, is something big, iron, and very similar to the car. Children reported the find parents, and they called the police. Arriving detectives scattered the ground and saw a car windshield. Shine inside they exhaled with relief - the bodies inside the car was not there. A few days later they returned to the scene with a team of workers and began to dig discovery. Further excavations showed that the car no body, no drugs, no weapons. But it is even more confused situation. After all, bury the car was not some rusty Chevrolet from the landfill, and almost brand new Ferrari Dino 246 GTS. Who could conceive of to bury expensive sports car. And, most importantly, why?



some answers began to emerge when the vehicle struck the detectives on the base. Dark green Dino with the number 832 LJQ was stolen three years ago and are still on the wanted list. Expensive cars are sometimes stolen, but why it was instilled? Further investigation revealed that the car was bought for 22,500 dollars in October 1974, a plumber named Rozento Cruz. The car he bought as a gift for his wife's birthday. She managed to pass on her entire 501 mile. On December 7, on the anniversary of the wedding, they went with her husband in one of the restaurants of Los Angeles. Ferraris are parked on the street. Coming after a few hours of the restaurant, they found that the car was stolen and reported it to the police. She issued all the necessary papers and the owner has received payment from the insurance company. The story should have ended if not for the mysterious discovery three years later.



Poll residents of the house did not give - they entered into it only three months before the discovery of a mysterious Ferrari. None of the neighbors did not see or hear. Detectives joked that this can not be - Ferrari buried in the ground, it's not a potato plant! But to find out something and failed. The one who buried the car, clearly wanted to get it later - the car was neatly wrapped in foil, and all the holes plugged with towels.



Photos from Ferrari saw in the land of one of the editors of Automobile site. Determined to learn more, they found one of the detectives who took part in the excavations. He said that no child really was not. About the car told them to bury one of their informants, so that they dragged him out of jail. The next day they arrived at the address, and the hosts were allowed out to inspect the yard. Digging a few times they came across something iron, then called to the rescue workers. The investigation showed that the car was stolen, and at the request of its owner. He thus decided to get insurance payment. Ferrari hijackers were to drown in the ocean, somewhere far away from the shore. But they liked the car so much that instead of get rid of it, they decided to hide it, and then sell. To do this, they buried car, but, for some reason, never behind it and never returned. Personality of the hijackers in the investigation and have not been established.

After the unexpected resurrection, the car was handed over to the insurance company. After three years spent in the ground it was not in the best condition. Everywhere, even in the interior, there were traces of corrosion. Upholstery stained and covered with mold. To return the money, the insurance company decided to put it up for private auction. To this end, the Ferrari driven one of the warehouses, which could come to anyone to consider future purchase and offer a bid. But as she was left unattended during the show, the audience was stolen from Ferrari all that was not screwed on and had to withdraw the bid. As a result, it was sold at auction for about $ 5000 and then resold again for 23 000. The new owner had to repair the engine, completely repaint the body and restore the interior. But it was worth it. Now about the unusual cars last only say its number - DUG UP (dug).
