Storms, pounding surf and high tides over the past seven years have flattened and buried a red Ford F-150 truck on the beach about 2 miles south of Diamond Creek. Someone abandoned the truck in October 2011, but stripped plates and a vehicle identification number, or VIN, tag from the dashboard. The truck then looked drivable and rested on all four tires. Over the years it had also been vandalized, with windows shot out.
