MONTICELLO, Ind. (AP) _ A crew using a crane in a northern Indiana lake stumbled onto a submerged pickup truck that had been stolen 15 years ago from a Chicago suburb.
Twin Lakes Enterprises staff called local police Tuesday morning after the crane raised a vehicle's door from Lake Shafer, where the crew was doing work.
The Kokomo Tribune reports White County and Monticello police used sonar to determine that a truck was on the lake bottom.
Monticello police divers hooked a cable to the truck and towed it to the surface of the lake about 75 miles northwest of Indianapolis.
Police determined the heavily damaged 1996 Chevy S-10 was reported stolen in 2000 from the Wood Dale, Illinois, area.
A subsequent search of the nearby lake bottom turned up nothing else.
