A few months back in my town, an off duty police officer drove his car through a fence at a local elementary school. He left the car and fled the scene. He turned himself in the next morning. Of course by then he had sobered up, so he could not be charged with anything more than fleeing the scene of an MVA. Were laws broken? Likely. Fortunately, nobody was hurt. Again, we have no idea if Diggs was involved, but this was likely a very lucky outcome. Edited April 23, 2021 by Clemfield2622 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the car was found on Sunday morning and as recently as 3 days ago Diggs has Instagram posts showing him somewhere with palm trees. Maybe he went down after it happened, who knows? Oh, c'mon man. First, there are plenty of palm trees in places other than Miami - Florida, Gulf coast, S. Cali, Caribbean, etc. Even Ireland has palm trees FFS! Second, it's pretty well known I think that Diggs trains off-season at House of Athlete or Bommaritos in Miami and Receiver Factory in (I think) Ft Lauderdale. But he flies around in a private jet. He can be pretty much anywhere, any time. He could be in Cabo San Lucas on Sunday nite and Miami on Monday morning. 55 minutes ago, papazoid said: someone who wouldn't pass a sobriety test hopefully nothing surfaces that shows diggs in florida in and around that time Diggs doesn't need to be not anyplace with palm trees, he doesn't need to be not anyplace in Florida, he just needs to have not been in the car when the abandonment happened. And he only needs that because his representatives said he wasn't in Florida at the time. The flat tire may or may not have occurred or been a problem - I don't see why a Mercedes G wagon wouldn't have run-flat tires - but as someone else astutely observed, there are a bunch of strip clubs and casinos in the vicinity of Miami Airport Station. It seems probable that someone experienced a bit of trouble staying on the road, may or may not have had a flat tire as a cause or as a result of this, may have called for roadside assistance, then realized that the car's position combined with their current state might want 'splainin if law enforcement showed up, so the best thing to do was beat feet outta there by taxi or Uber and sort the situation later.

Leaving a 100k+ car sitting feet from train tracks and abandoning it. I'm sure it was totally innocent. At a guess, Diggs younger brother, Dallas cornerback Trevon Diggs, may have been involved. He seems to live and train with Stefon in the off season. If I were Stefon and my younger bro (or even my friend) called me at 3 ack emma and said "I was out clubbing and ran your G-wagon off the road near the airport, I think the tire is flat, I called a tow truck", I would say "Lil', forget the tow truck, GTFO of there, Now, and we'll send someone after the car in the morning". At that point you're not concerned about $100k car, you're concerned about 1) running into the wrong police officers and having them cause you bodily harm in the process of finding out no, the car isn't stolen 2) having sobriety tests administered at the scene where you were driving a vehicle, and failing them Diggs earned $14.8M last year. His game-day paycheck was >$800k. He could buy like, 5 of them cars (after taxes) from 1 weeks pay. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrDawkinstein Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 This seems like some folks making a mountain out of absolutely nothing. Who cares why it was abandoned? No laws have been broken.

I don't doubt that Diggs had nothing directly to do with the car being left there. But I do doubt that the idiot who he let drive it abandoned it because of a flat tire. It's possible. Changing the tire on a G Wagon is a way more involved than a Camry, for example. Lugs are a bish to loosen on a truck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Left keys under floor mat, had car towed to repair shop Yep, I've never abandoned my car but my family used to swear by AAA. Waited 2 hours one time, talked to the tow truck driver and he said AAA pays at a discount and often takes a good 90 days to get it so they put AAA calls last on the priority list. The few times I've needed a tow, I come out ahead just paying the guy on the spot instead of yearly AAA. And they get there within 30 minutes! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 1977 I was traveling across the country and stopped in Chicago for a day. I went to a Cubs game with my car packed with most of my belongings and parked at a church near Wrigley. I came back & they told me the keys were under the floor mat. I would have never have left it there if I knew what they would do with the keys. I guess they figured nobody would harm a car parked at their church.

Assuming someone witnessed the crash and called the police, he left it there and walked to the nearest bar for the express purpose of doing as many shots as he could while loudly bemoaning the fact he crashed his car. He figured it would be hard to prove when he had actually consumed the alcohol if people witnessed him pounding enough shots. Pretty ballsy, and pretty stupid, but as far as I know it worked. Either that or no one in the small town actually gave a **** enough to call the police. 🤷♂️ Edited April 24, 2021 by transient 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
