[DML] DeLorean underwater?

Hi all,
I thought this might be an interesting story to put on the DML. I
live in Chicago, but my home is in Huntsville, AL. Me and most of my friends
in Huntsville are scuba divers, and rescue divers as well. My friend wrote
me saying he had attended a training excercise on some river in Alabama
where they practice rescuing (or removing) bodies from cars that have
accidently gone into the river (seems to be a big problem in Alabama!).
Anyway, the car used was an old buick that was randomly dropped into the
water and it was left up to the divers to find it. Well, it seems that when
the divers went down they found three cars....two extras that hadn't been
put down! One was a toyota, and the other one couldn't be identified by any
of the other divers (only a few young divers were under the water). My
friend took a look and said it was in about 60ft of water, and half buried
in the mud. He automatically recognized it as a Delorean! He said it looked
like it had been down for years. The stainless was muddy with some slight
surface pitting, but still in good condition. The tires and rear of the car
were buried in the mud, but he said the car looked intact. He tried opening
the door, but it was buried in the mud too far. He looked in side with a
flashlight and said that the seats were missing or had rotted away. Other
than that he said the car was complete. How the hell could this have
happened? A stolen car perhaps? My friend wisely told his team that the car
was really just an old stripped datsun or something, and sent them home. He
wants to salvage the car at least for it's panels. Does anyone know anything
about this car? Anyone lost one? My friend swears this is true. Why would he
lie? Any info or feedback on this?
