Man abandons Audi in flood waters, finds it two weeks later with (almost) everything stolen

[QUOTE=_Kent_;43816197]How does that work? It seems like it would make it worse.[/QUOTE]

Car makes a wave just in front and the low spot between waves is right where your intake/airbox is. Though you don't 'floor it' since you will splash water everywhere (into intake), you have to go slow enough to not splash and fast enough to have a good wave.

Too bad most highway vehicles take air from the fender area and are much too low anyway.

[quote]Gregg Watkins, who spotted the Audi just two days after it was abandoned, said it was ‘incredible’ how fast it had been stripped.

He added: 'The owner must have just have seen the state of it, stuck a claim in with his insurers and left it to them to deal with it.'[/quote][/QUOTE]

I can't see this being true, an insurer won't write a car off without inspecting it. If he claimed on the insurance they would have recovered it, inspected it, declared it a CAT D / C write-off, and sold it to auction as is for £10-20k to someone who would replace the engine, electrics, and interior to then sell on for £30-40k

That's some nice car deconstruction. Wiggy.
