A Shop Is Charging This Guy $48,000 For Towing His Old Jeep

Joel Ramer and his girlfriend got stuck off-roading this old Jeep Cherokee on a powerline road in Walpole, Massachusetts last week. Seems egregious that he was arrested for trespassing and disturbing the peace, but the $48,000 recovery charge is downright offensive.

It’s unclear whether Ramer got slapped with a trespassing charge aftercalling for help, or if somebody spotted and busted him while he was screwing around in the mud. And yeah, you can be jailed for that in Massachusetts.

But after Walpole PD rolled up on him Fox25 says the cops called what is presumably their go-to recovery outfit, Assured Collision, to pull the mired vehicle out.

After spending twelve hours on the job, Assured Collision lugged the Jeep XJ to their facility. Ramer went to collect it and was given a bill for $48,000 instead.

Hey guys! I’m a member on the forum, podcast listener and I’m currently a resident of AZ, but will be moving to LA area in the next few weeks to become an employee of SpaceX! Totally excited about the opportunity, but I’m afraid I’ll be missing out on a ton of wheeling we get in out here. So, I’m curious of what the wheeling scene is like, if there is one, on the south side of Cali!?
