Appeared to be abandoned? I reported to police at the time as it looked suspicious,

Anybody know this truck?

...and no trees to winch it out, and probably too wet to use a ground anchor SKIP

It has an illegal front number plate too.

When night falls it will be parked on an unlight right-of-way after the hours of darkness without lights.

Shocking, definitely should be reported.

Hopefully by now the owner will have found a grown-up to help to recover it. Rolling with laughter

Yes "it has a winch!!!" but as previously mentioned, doesn't look like there's anything to winch off. It appears to be a good example of why you shouldn't go greenlaning alone. 2006 TD5110 station wagon

There were no trees your all correct.

It was odd that the car had been left unlocked too???

As said I reported to police but they did not tell me if it was recorded as stolen or not.

I wonder if they had a spade or shovel (the first piece of recovery equipment you should carry) with them.

You'd have that out in no time with a spade!
