Brand New SUV Found Buried in Backyard![]() A family in Oklahoma dug up a surprise in their own back yard earlier this week when a father and son decided to alter a path used to ride their dirt bikes. According to local news station KFOR, after some digging, the duo stumbled across a brand new car wrapped in plastic buried beneath the earth, but just how did it get there?
Fredie Green and his son Cody enjoy motocross. They've been jumping bikes and ATVs in their backyard since they've owned the family home and finally decided to make some alterations to their homemade course. Cody grabbed his tractor and began to dig in the ground, only to be abruptly stopped by something. He unearthed a bit more out of curiosity but instead of removing a rock, he didn't find buried treasure, but instead found the hood of a 2003 Chevrolet Trailblazer. Cody called his father who instructed him to stop digging while he called police. Authorities arrived onsite and removed the remainder of the vehicle, then ripped off the doors to check for any bodies that might have been inside. After confirming that the vehicle was free from any remains, the more important questions started to come to light - namely how the vehicle ended up in its grave wrapped in a tarp. That's the question on everyone's mind, including local the local sheriff's department. Despite the years of being underground in the dirt, authorities were able to find a license plate affixed to the vehicle. After a quick plate run, lieutenant Robert Stewart verified that the tags were registered to the previous owner of the property the vehicle was found buried in. The lieutenant confirmed that a police report showed the Trailblazer was reported stolen by the previous land owner. As of now, the police speculate some form of insurance fraud being a possibility. No charges have been filed at this time as the investigation is still underway. The SUV does appear to be damaged, but it's unclear if that is due to an accident, years of being under dirt with moving vehicles on top, or simply from the deposit/removal of the vehicle from the ground. This story is far from the glories of a barn find, but it sure is interesting to find a brand new car buried in your yard after fifteen years. Growing Up in the Butcher Shop

New Pennsylvania DUI Law Coming
A new law set to go into effect Aug. 25 will change the way first-time DUI offenders are punished in Pennsylvania. The new law will require most first-time offenders with a blood-alcohol level higher than 0.10 percent to have an ignition interlock device installed on their vehicle.
Under the new law, most first-time offenders would be eligible to drive with the ignition interlock immediately. Otherwise, they would have to have their driver’s license suspended for a year before installing the interlock device for 12 months.
Those who are eligible can petition PennDOT for a new Ignition Interlock Limited License, allowing them to install the device for one year and continue to drive.
The law will also apply to drivers who refuse to submit to chemical testing. They will be eligible for early interlock after six months.
According to statistics compiled by Mothers Against Drunk Driving, nearly 2 million drunk-driving attempts have been stopped with ignition interlock devices, including more than 78,000 instances in Pennsylvania between 2003 and 2015.
An ignition interlock or car breathalyzer prevents drunk drivers from driving their vehicle. The device is connected to your vehicle, and it has a preset level for blood alcohol concentration (BAC) determined by the state. If you blow into it when you are over the set limit, your vehicle won't start.

THIS DAY IN HISTORY - August 11
Federal prisoners land on Alcatraz 1934
A group of federal prisoners classified as “most dangerous” arrives at Alcatraz Island, a 22-acre rocky outcrop situated 1.5 miles offshore in San Francisco Bay. The convicts–the first civilian prisoners to be housed in the new high-security penitentiary–joined a few dozen military prisoners left over from the island’s days as a U.S. military prison.
Alcatraz was an uninhabited seabird haven when it was explored by Spanish Lieutenant Juan Manuel de Ayala in 1775. He named it Isla de los Alcatraces, or “Island of the Pelicans.” Fortified by the Spanish, Alcatraz was sold to the United States in 1849. In 1854, it had the distinction of housing the first lighthouse on the coast of California. Beginning in 1859, a U.S. Army detachment was garrisoned there, and from 1868 Alcatraz was used to house military criminals. In addition to recalcitrant U.S. soldiers, prisoners included rebellious Indian scouts, American soldiers fighting in the Philippines who had deserted to the Filipino cause, and Chinese civilians who resisted the U.S. Army during the Boxer Rebellion. In 1907, Alcatraz was designated the Pacific Branch of the United States Military Prison.
In 1934, Alcatraz was fortified into a high-security federal penitentiary designed to hold the most dangerous prisoners in the U.S. penal system, especially those with a penchant for escape attempts. The first shipment of civilian prisoners arrived on August 11, 1934. Later that month, more shiploads arrived, featuring, among other convicts, infamous mobster Al Capone. In September, George “Machine Gun” Kelly, another luminary of organized crime, landed on Alcatraz.
