3 years ago something like this happen on our farm, the boy was 17 had a 4x4 Nissan truck jacked up and big tires, drove into our corn field did a few dougnuts , kept going, perhaps lost his direction drove straight for awhile, 1/2 mile altogether, didn't see the creek, wrecked the truck and TOTALED it, walked away, the truck was busted so bad they could'nt even sneak it out because they drove another vehicle into the field to try it, his daddy, who is a swat team cop, daddy called his buddy (sheriff deputy) they all waited till 9 am the next morning and called to tell us, the report said the truck was a "few feet off the roadway into the field" ( 2640 feet is a half a mile), my father forbid the wrecker to follow the little truck tracks to retrieve it, because that would knock down even more corn stalks, so we harvested soybeans on the other side of the creek and said they can come get it after they pay for the damage, the swat team daddy cop said that was "too much money", the truck sat another night and the boy and his friends came and removed the fancy radio and boom speakers while my kids called the sheriff about the trespassing, and the fuzz came after the bad boys left, my wife and I were chewed out by the deputy for my own kids carrying a rifle on our own land.
My wife and kids filled a gravity wagon full with the corn after crawling on their hands and knees. The court only allowed us one third of what we figured the damages to be and our questions about the details of what exactly happened remain unanswered , the kid still snots off to my kids at the swine barn at the Wayne County, Indiana 4_H fair!Good luck, I am sorry this happened to you, you are not alone, they say in some circles that sports keeps kids out of trouble....our experience has been just the opposite, this is only one story, tip of the iceberg.
