ALot of these stories make me laugh, and part of the reason why I charge $75 per hour (minimum 1 hour) for any search and recovery operation. I treat it as a commercial job, and very professional. I dont do anything like that for free...
Guy called us and wanted us to retrieve some keys from inside a car that was on the bottom of a lake so he could call the cops and say it was stolen, and then if anyone ever found it, they wouldnt find it with the keys in it.
Guy was drunk, drove his car into the lake, then got out and walked home.
We told him to have a nice day and get his own keys...
Funny part is, he then asked if he could rent a tank, bc and reg... We just about laughed him out of the shop!!! He wasnt even certified...
Snowmobile recovery is another story. I charge $500 for one sled, and $800 for two... Thats another scary story...
