- Welcome to Wonderhussy Adventure #608
Date of adventure: 1/27/22
While exploring a very remote part of the Mojave backcountry, I stumbled on an abandoned and very busted car of relatively recent vintage. Is this a crime scene? Or just another junk car left to rot in the desert? Join me as I analyze the available evidence, and try to figure out what exactly happened here. Share YOUR theory in the comments!

The car was probably stolen and then stripped of whatever they wanted or it was stuck and the owner couldn't afford to recover it. Then people found it and destroyed it and took what they wanted from it.
yup they took the battery and the front seats and it does look like they took the tail lights
@@perry92964 NO bullet holes ? Hasn't been there as long as she thinks .
I see bullet holes and think we are witnessing a snapshot of an active process, involving multiple unrelated individuals, unfolding over time. I think she has touched on most of the probable scenarios though a flash flood on that wash could have been involved at the begging of the timeline. A cool mystery in any case.
@@rickobrien4025 it has a few but that just proves that the thieves werent gun nuts that just love to shoot at anything that looks like a target
Lyft drivers put a ton of miles on their vehicles. I suspect all the life was driven out of this vehicle and it’s value was far less than the loan payoff. So it “disappeared” in a fraudulent insurance scam.
Another theory: Behind in payments even with the Lyft side hustle, dumped it in the desert, reported it "stolen," insurance paid off the lender.
Particularly since the rideshare gig jobs dried up considerably during COVID. The driver wasn’t able to even make enough scratch to make payments off of a Mirage. I noticed the VIN plate on the driver’s side of the dash just below the windshield appeared to still be there though. The CHP officer that placed the abandoned vehicle sticker on the back window would’ve made a report and the state insurance bureau database would’ve been copied on that. That could possibly have messed up the scam, or not. Hard to say, would’ve depended on timing of the CHP report vs when the insurance company paid off the loss.
Finding a mirage in the desert is everyone's dream when lost in the desert. But maybe not that kind of mirage. 😆
You know you have talent when you can talk about an abandon car for 22 minutes and it is entertaining. You are awesome.
I was just thinking the same thing 😂
She could try to auction the car off.
Lots of women have the ability to ramble on for many many minutes. lol
@@boatingcharlie1 Yeah and she's fun to be around and smart besides.
No kidding, love her!
Looks like someone stole it and stripped all the easy to sale parts. They left engine but took battery tail lights and dash components
I got stuck in a remote part of Death Valley when I was on a road like the one crossing the wash, and kind of assumed that the sand was more or less similarly firm alongside the road.
Maybe the driver of that car thought the wash was okay to drive on? And then tried to turn around, and ended up over on the side before the wheels sank in?
That's quite a feeling when the wheels sink in an you realize you're stranded.
My solution-While driving at night, got off the trail, got stuck and decided to star gaze on the seat they ripped out of the car. After consuming bad alcohol, went nuts and destroyed car. Then a camel appeared. Rode it to Vegas and is now keeping warm in one of your sleeping bags. I've started to pick up on your story telling.!! Love your videos. 👍👍🙋♂️
ha ha!
The camel was a stretch lol.
Seems likely it was stolen, joyridden, got stuck and abandoned. Most likely the vandalism/stripping occurred after the fact.
Most plausible comment.
Hopefully you can contact the sheriff's office and just let them know about this. They can haul it out and maybe find out what happened!
Either way it does need to be moved out of the dessert. Much love everyone ❤️
They dont haul anything away in the desert in CA. It is full of trash and a scrapyard would be happy to help clean up but are laws against removing anything.
@@thebangkokconnection4080 give me a break. There are so many deserts. They are not filled with trash. how moronic.
@@SinMore no its not moronic, if it's in a state park , hell yea, they will investigate and haul off .
Stolen, taken for a joy ride, abandoned, stripped of easily removeable parts, then left as so much litter. Hope some agency with jurisdiction (BLM, county sheriff, etc.?) at least removes it from the desert.
Except who would steal a Mitsubishi Mirage for a joyride? LOL
@@ronaldoago-go5907 2-bit car thieves aren't too choosey, long as it has 2, 4 or more wheels and runs. Have seen vids of full-size RV police pursuits, insane.🥴
Wonderhussy - the modern day Nancy Drew! Sarah’s mysteries are my favorites.
In Fred's voice: "Looks like we have a mystery on our hands, gang!"
The seat outside the car is in decent shape probably because it was taken out recently by vandals and hasn't sat in the sunlight for very long. Nice job of investigating Sarah Jane.
The dents on the cars roof was caused by the alien spaceship before the occupants were abducted for probing. Probably "Greys," -- they're notorious for that sort of thing.
Just love when you go into Nancy Drew mode.
Sarah Jane has an incredibly active imagination. How does she manage to drive to remote locations and fall fast asleep in the back of her rig without recurring nightmares of mayhem and destruction?
My theory. The owner got stuck and left the car there, intending to come back and get it. Then they realized that it would cost more to recover it than the car was worth. Then, other people came along and damaged it.
The Highway Patrol tagged the car they likely found abandoned ON Interstate 15- You did a good preliminary investigation with a good narrative and film showing what appeared to be the reason to leave it in the sandy wash - The direction you were traveling and the exact place you turned off 15
with the name of the town the road leads to and your film and phone number is about all they will need - Good work!
Wonderhussy, AKA the Margaret Rutherford (Miss Marple) of the wild wild west! She'll get to the bottom of it in no time. Another awesome vid WH. Love ya, J
Get the VIN next time. It should be located near the Left Lower corner of the windshield. I LOVE your videos and look forward to them each Wednesday. Thank you for taking me places that I could never go! Be Safe... I Love You Sarah!
That is what I was going to suggest. The VIN would possibly tell where it was last located, last owner, if it had been reported as wrecked...
On the driver's side of the windshield usually, towards the hood
Pretty surely she did make a note of the VIN for herself/police. She just knows that 1000 people will write a comment suggesting it. That is money in the bank for her after the UA-cam algorithm sees all the comments.
I had a 1998 Mitsubishi mirage when I moved to Vegas in 2003 with my mom and step dad. It would always overheat in 100 degree weather when I would turn on the A/C. It wouldn't overheat with that A/C off. It had little ground clearance but I loved it. It didn't help that it had a black exterior color.
looks to me like someone stole it ,raced it around the desert and then beat the hell out of it !
My bet is that someone owed money on the car and a bank was going to repo it, so the abandoned it in the desert and destroyed it too keep the bank from getting it.
So much for a pristine Crime Scene.! Cops likely left the window sticker after examining the site. Get the VIN number. Yes, Overactive. We like that.
Wonderhussy "Sleuth of the Mojave". I love hearing you unraveling a mystery. Ha ha ha.
The car was stolen and stripped and dragged on it's roof, shot at, and left there. How do I know that? Well, because a car I owned many years ago was stolen from our driveway, driven to a remote area, stripped, dragged on its roof and shot at. That's what these thugs do. They've been doing it for years and it's still the same. In cases like this, the owner doesn't want the car back (would you?) so unless the local police haul it in it generally stays where it is. In this case, the desert. My car was left in the water so they had to hook up chains and haul it out. But, in a lake or in the desert it's all the same thing. The owner probably filed a claim w/his insurance co. like I did and got another vehicle. Interesting video.
I love your rambling, somewhat crazy narrations and stories about structures, cars, cabins etc. all cooked up in your head. Hilarious!
Thank you for leaving your fingerprints all over the crime scene. Signed " THE FBI '
You have quite the imagination :)
99% chance that it was stolen for a joyride, then trashed and abandoned by young hooligans.
You’re back at the top of your game Sarah Jane. Thank you!
Thanks for saying something about ridgecrest a town that not too many people are aware of.
It's fun to make up a story and connect all the clues. Amazing that those muffins made it intact for several months - unless they were left by the vandals who smashed windows and shot holes into the car. There's always a story!
Someones Rollin with the front seats .... Lol !!! Turn the vin into the Sheriffs office . Love Your Vids
I live close to Mojave, but when I used to live in Lancaster everyday people would be posting on FB groups about getting their cars stolen and finding them on the desert like Lake L.A ,Palmdale ,Lancaster, Rosamond, Mojave and all the way to California City. I would go for walks close WinCo foods in Lancaster and would see one or two cars in a month just like that one or worse.
In your quest for the unusual, somewhere on a dry lake bed there is a guy "Crazy Rocketman" might be worth your while
I think a flash flood carried the car to its final resting place. The dents in the roof indicate that it was tumbling helplessly.
Leave anything out there long enough and some dummies will tear it all to hell. That car's even got bullet holes in it...not many, as ammo is costly and hard to get right now.. Love your
story though(8-). And...yeah, you may want to record the VIN and phone the Sheriff. Oh, and sometimes bullets can end up hitting sideways. It's called "keyholing". So the hole will look
funny. Anyway. Thanks for an entertaining video on the "Waylaid Lyft Driver".(8-) And much love, Babe.
Turn your findings in to the police and keep us posted
Seems like there would be a VIN number under what's left of the front windshield. Seems like the Police could run that number and at least answer a few questions. Now I'm curious.
Love, love, love your imagination & storytelling! We know someone was upside down on their car loan.
Not to worry, detective Wonderhussy is on the case. A real Sherlock Holmes. What an imagination connecting all those clues.
A mixture of “MURDER SHE WROTE” and “COLUMBO”😂😂😂
Have you contacted the authorities or even Lyft? I would try that make someone is really missing and they drove for Lyft
Sticker on back window was put on because it was on the highway to long. Once it had a sticker it has 48 hours to move it. It was taken to that place and stripped. It is definitely a stolen car. They need the vin.tag number that is on the dash driver side by windshield. CHP will come and identify and have it removed.
detective Wonderhussy on the case. Someone should go and tow it out of there. Did you get the VIN number?
That car you found, give the Police the license plate number. It might be a missing person's car.
Likely a stolen car. VIN number would be helpful for law enforcement to check the status.
The motor is probably worth some salvage money.
I was a fan of the TV series "Lucifer" where the female detective was named Chloe Decker and played by actress Lauren German. Hubba hubba. Wonderhussy is a good detective but prone to an excessive imagination. Love that about her!
I like your version better than the mundane stuck, stripped and vandalized one I’d come up with. Alien abduction anybody? Love your videos, you’re the most entertaining one out there! ❤️
Sarah! You have what they call a fertile imagination. Oh well, it’s always fun to speculate. 😎
Two wonderhussy videos in one day?!?! Omg yay!!! My car broke down today so I’ve been in a funk, your videos make me so happy!
Wonder buddy 😂🤣
@@davidmiller3263 ooops!!! My bad 🤦🏽♂️
You are the only human I’ve encountered that has the insane ability to polish a turd 💩 and make it a fun and fascinating adventure! We love ❤️ you!!! George and Leanne!
Your wondering mind entails me. Plz never stop your videos
Could have been a stolen car abandoned out there. And over time random people took what they wanted from it. Then vandalized it. Just a wild guess.
That scene is the result of multiple visits by disparate parties, some human, some animal. It explains the strange state of the thing and why some things haven't weathered as badly as would be expected over the duration. For instance, the plastic under the hood looks in unexpectedly good condition because the hood may not have been open that entire time and when it was closed, they would have been shielded form sun and weather.
So that guy or gal tried to prepare for the journey by installing two lyfts, one in front and one in back but those alone didn't cut it. They were missing the requisite drive train and beefy tires. If they had done just one lift, had 4WD or AWD and put some beefy tires on instead of just the two lyfts front and back, they wouldn't have gotten stuck. That's what happens when you cut corners.
Surprised someone hasn't taken the tires and engine. Some good value left for someone needing replacement parts for their Mitsubishi.
Those cars actually have a 10 year "bumper to bumper warranty" 🤣. Probably isn't stolen, pretty sad that there's a good chance whoever dumped it there didn't cause all that damage.... asshats with nothing better to do is more likely.
Your videos are always awesome 👌
Pieces of carpet and flip flops have saved us in the past from sand traps! Or even car mats. Just dont hit the gas or you spin!
If I'm not mistaken, that car was a rental. The family of 3 bodys were discovered weeks later. 💥💥💥
Wonderhussy you are too awesome ! Thank you for being so real ! Keep up the great content ! You are too cool Wonderhussy !
You ought to come back in a year and see how the car has changed , if it’s still there!
I loved the desert. Only drove there once when, I was young. about 20. You should look for arrowheads as you walk . You are lucky . Thank you for the video's.
Or maybe someone just wanted to ditch the car, and drove off with the assistance of a friend who was a co-conspirator and had another vehicle?
Or maybe it was a stolen vehicle.
Abandoned vehicle with bullit holes in the desert , unbelievable !
I love your sense of Imagination ❤️🤣
Yes, bring on the CSI MOHAVE episodes!
Unfortunately, where I live - the Northern Nevada desert? Near me, it is littered with these wrecked cars. Our local Pick-N-pull will not accept scrap cars without an "Active" title and registration. Nobody is willing to do that for a junk car...? They get dumped and stripped on public land. That CHP parking sticker makes me think it was sitting somewhere disabled for a long time... Got it running well enough to dump it out there? Locally- it's ironic that 6 wrecking yards are within a mile of the favorite dirtbag dump zone. Old trailers, cars, trucks, garbage etc... Very unsightly to see on public land next to a BLM sign that actually says- 'Take care of Your public lands'.
Walking thirsty through the desert.. is that water I see in the distance? Nope it is just a mirage.
The same thing happened to this car as happens to any abandoned car in my area. The driver leaves the broke down car, only to return and find that the scavengers and vandals have destroyed it. When the driver returned with someone to help him with a mechanical problem, he took one look at the vandalized remains and just walked away. As for the location of the car, perhaps there was a flash flood that was just strong enough to move the car a few yards away from the road.
Looks like it's under control Wonder Hussy on the scene getting to the bottom of it 😁 thanks for sharing
LOVE YOUR VIDEOS
My Grandpa kept a couple old cars around for us children to work over. Go with it next auto find, get out your best tire iron!
I love your stories 😀
Nice investigative skills. I imagine an insurance company would have had some interest at some point considering it had to have been in decent shape and thus belong to someone. Foul play of some kind is probable though.
I remember September 6th, 2020 because it was one of the hottest days in California history. Woodland Hills, in LA, hit a record high of 126 degrees. Even places like Santa Monica, which rarely get above 90, was nearly 110 degrees.
Always loved your "re-enactment'stories", factual or not, and that is why I love these type of videos. But, in this case I hope it's not the worst case scenario... You should be a writer. Great video.
Thank you for the videos 👍
I don't know why it seems extra creepy for a car to be sitting there with all the doors open. If all doors where shut, the creepy factor would be half. It makes me think of "The Discovery" scene in No Country For Old Men.
Someone wanted to get out of their car payment. Took it into the desert and abandoned it. Went home and reported in stolen. Vandals did the rest.
Dollars to donuts it was stolen, joy ridden and abandoned once it got stuck. I'm surprised no one's pulled the VIN number from it and passed it to the authorities. And if it's sitting in a wash, it's probably gonna get (or already has been) flooded...
The Lyft driver kidnapped a pretty young woman and drove her out into the desert thinking he was going to have his way with her, little did he know that she was a werewolf, and he became her dinner.
Hopefully you read this . i have two places you have to visit in the Vegas area . first is the Techatticup Mine is so awesome ! many movies filmed out there , lots of antique vehicles and things all over even a crashed airplane and a haunted mine . the second place you need to see is the Spring Mountain Ranch near Red Rocks it was once owned by Howard Hughes and is a self guided tour with green grass fields in the middle of the Desert and untouched 70,s house with a panic room . Love watching you keep up the great video's
If you would read the little sticker on the door you would find a clue Of the month and year it was built.
Have continued fun on your adventures
To the contrary, I think something bad most certainly happened there! I do hope you let us know what the local sheriff had to say about it.
If you take the Vin number off the dash up there and look through the front of the windshield which is not there right the Vin number down and go on the Internet you can find out Who owns
the car very interesting detective wonder Hussey thanks for another video I enjoyed this one from the old retired guy👍👨🏻🦳👍
Sarah 🤔 You'll need the VIN #
On dash, lower corner of windshield or on the Engine block or under the spare tire compartment where its secured.
The VIN # will TELL ALL !!!
Is there a VIN number on the car? I think this needs to be reported. IDK. very bizarre. And intriguing
You are one of a kind!
I have to backtrack BUT, I did see on my UA-cam feed yesterday about a female Lyft driver that was murdered.
I didn't watch the video so don't know the location & now I'm really curious.
I'll watch the rest of your video & look for the other one about the murder & report back right here!
Great investigating WH!
Hugs & Love 💘 you!
*Update: It was a young lady that mistook a driver for an Uber driver & was murdered, so it has nothing to do with WH's mysterious Lyft car.
Ok, well this is a mystery.
ALL RIGHT!
" Wonderhussy...CSI" 😎
🤣 Maybe some "Fart DNA analysis" on that seat cushion?...🤔
Probably abandoned for insurance money. Later vandalized by marauders. Nice CSI work.
The elongated bullet holes are where the bullet has keyholed. That’s where the projectile has lost its normal flight and impacts sideways. Happens a lot with worn barrels like on military surplus guns. Those holes are probably from an ak.
What was the freshness date on the cup cakes? You know the “sell by date”. That would tell you if you were looking for a stinky body or just bones. The rat poop is from the rats that were installed to make the car go, that made their way out to start a new life.
vandalization
happens everywhere to everything when abandoned
You
Are
Hysterical!!
“Enough about me”!🤣
Hussy doing her thing...fun fun
