The car in the left of the picture above is a Honda that is being towed out of the surf by a Morro Bay Harbor Patrol truck. It had been spotted by surfers about 75 yards off-shore just north of Morro Rock around 6:30am. Fearing someone might be in the car, Morro Bay police officers waded, in full gear, into the surf up to their thighs. When no one was found, a beach and ocean search was conducted involving the Morro Bay Fire Department, the Harbor Patrol, and the Coast Guard.
According to reports, the vehicle had been recently stolen in Paso Robles and was deliberately driven into the surf. No suspects are known at this time.
It's going to take more than a Wet Vac to clean up the mess.
