Funny you mention cars in lakes. Its common practice to dispose of hot cars in waterways, that's most likely the situation you came across. The second car Andy and I pulled was a late 60's Mustang. I figured it was just a field car and the driver was a little to drunk and splashed it into the river.

After removing the car I found a cylinder and cutting torch hoses, I carry a full tool set in the trunk, but that's just a little extreme!
