How long before this one turns up on Ebay?

Search Of Canal Yields Skeleton, 110 Sunken Cars
Police Say Bones Appear Human


BOCA RATON, Fla. -- A set of bones and 110 cars were found submerged in a canal in a rural area west of Boca Raton, authorities said.

Police told WPBF News 25 that divers were searching a few miles of the Hillsboro Canal along Loxahatchee River Road west of Highway 441 for stolen and abandoned cars around 11 a.m. Tuesday when they came across a silver Mercedes coupe containing what appeared to be human bones scattered across the driver and front passenger seats.

Detective Michael Bianchi with the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office told WPBF that the bones appear to have been in the vehicle for a long time.

"We're talking years," Bianchi said.

Bianchi said the car, which he thought to be a mid-1980s Mercedes 380 SEL [sic] or 450 SL, had a smashed hood and cracked front and back windshields. Investigators have not confirmed that the remains are from a human because, as Bianchi said, alligators are known in the past to store the carcasses of deer and other animals in sunken vehicles for later.

It's the result of all those old people driving those huge "boats" when they ought not be driving. Oops, right off into the canal! I guess at least one of them didn't make it to shore.

The car is a 1986-1987 560SL; position of the 3rd brake light gives it away.

It would be in showroom condition only in Atlantis.

People are always trying to run the boats on land and the cars in the water.
