I got un-fired… But now I quit.

- When I got fired from this job (that we weren't even charging for), I should have just walked away and never looked to back. But when the woman called back a month later and told me her car had still not been recovered, I felt bad and agreed to go try it again. This time however, the information was drastically different than what I was given last time, so we took that information and drove 100 miles into the desert to try again. Unfortunately, we again didn't find it. At the end of another very long day when I got ahold of her to let her know the bad news... She gave me information that was completely different yet again, and none of it is even remotely close to related, and asked when I was going back out there. But at this point, I'm done. I can't continue to spend money and days on wild goose chases with completely unreliable information. So when it comes to this job, I quit.

I have an update since this video was filmed. Apparently the woman and her husband have driven out there themselves and he was able to lead her right to it. It is nowhere even remotely close to the area of the desert they had us searching in on either trip. We were completely wasting our time and fuel on both days. But the even bigger problem is that it turns out the car is quite a few miles from the nearest two track trail, and many more than that from an actual road. The husband apparently just pointed it in a random direction across the snow covered desert and put his foot to the floor until it wouldn't go any more. She sent me pictures and it is high centered on a bunch of large rocks. There is no way any sort of tow truck is getting to it, and now that the snow he drove across to get there is melted, trying to drag it out to the road with a Jeep across miles of rocky desert is just going to gut the bottom of the car and likely dump oil and car parts in the desert where we don't want it. There is simply no way to pull it out without ripping that car apart. The car looks like it was on it's last leg to begin with and was probably worth $500-1,000 BEFORE all this happened, and now after it's joy ride through the desert, it is nothing but scrap. My original goal was to get this woman her car back so she was no longer without a vehicle and walking to work, but since this car is never going to drive again, and she has already gotten another vehicle, I am walking away from this whole mess and not looking back. I really wanted to help, but after putting 2 days and over 500 miles into this project at no charge and getting a very negative attitude towards me (and even fired once) for not finding it... sometimes you just have to realize that other people's problems are not your problem.
Yeah mate. Sleep sound knowing that you are of much higher caliber than these folks who brought negativity and drama into your life. Live your best life as these folks always live miserable ones.
A shame for nature, that this car is rotting away there, but i fully understand you. dude should be forced to bring it back piece by piece on foot :D
When I worked as a social worker ion a crisis centre, I learned the very valuable lesson that you just can't help everone. Some people don't want to be helped, others, you just can't help.
That's a useful life lesson that makes your own life so much easier!
Casey I completely agree with your decision. Just the cost of 500 miles of driving a truck or Jeep over all those rough roads, gas ain't cheap! I do wonder if on an annual basis you could make good use of a trailer like the off-road builds of Matt at MORR and Rory in Moab? They need such rugged off-road trailers, so it makes sense for them. Maybe you just don't get enough calls needing such a trailer to make that pay for itself? Anyway, bummer of a situation and Good On You for being a good person trying so very hard to help folks out! :)
Wow.. that's BS.
I’m irritated and amused at the same time.
People! Who knows what their problem is.
What "people"? That's the problem. Humans aren't people. When they believe they are, that's when everything goes wrong.
The ones that really irritate me are the ones that get out before you get there and don’t ever think to tell you…
@@CaseyLaDelle
You have the patience of a saint. I could not do what you do.
Man I hear ya. Called out at 2am. Wife's at work so I gotta wake someone to watch my boys. Get dressed for a below zero night (wisconsin). Sitter shows by 3:15 I'm out 25 mile back country drive. Go another 10 miles only to find where someone went in and fresh tires spinning through the ice down to the blacktop. Yeehaw a drunk pulled another drunk outta the ditch and I'm holding my....yeah. so I wasted 20 bucks of fuel 40 since I had to wake the sitter wasted my time just to get back too late to go to bed for an hour before I wake my boys for school. Then ho into work after getting them off to the bus only to get butched at by the bosses wife that it took me too long to get there. Oh and I was covering the bosses on call night because he went to supper and got drunk AGAIN! I guess I was put on earth to eat shut by the shovel full. Oh and I only get paid per recovery/tow and if it's AAA I get next to nothing.
I'm always amazed at the attitude people have when the labor and materials are free.
Which is more likely, an ungrateful person with unsolvable problems, or someone who appreciates any help they can get.
Oregonians are good natured, helpful people. It's easy to take it for granted. I wish them the best. ☮️
I agree! It's easy to expect someone to do the impossible when they're not paying for it in time and materials.
@@outlawbillionairez9780 ..Oregonians are just like anyone else anywhere..some good,some bad and everything in between!!
Fukn oatu mate.
Amen, give someone your time free, and you equipment and resources all out of your own pocket. Then they have the audacity to fire you. Wow is all I can say. Casey is kinder then I would be, once I was fired my charity attitude would be affected.She can't find the car, her husband who drove it out there can't find the car. But Casey the guy who helps for free should magically be able to find the car or get fired. REALLY, that is some amazing reasoning. Wouldn't it be smarter to thank him for trying his best and beg him to try again, and hope for some better results at some point.
The first rule of problem solving is to decide if it's your problem. Casey, you are very generous in your willingness to adopt everyone else's monkeys, but there are limits.
And that limit was crossed (for me) the first time she had an attitude when car was not found.
@@muppetpaster that limit was crossed for me when he didn't have some kind of minimum charge for time spent (wasted)
Cool, then stop using absolutely everything you use in your daily life that you did not explicitly and wholly harvest/mine/refine/grow/fabricate by your own hands alone. Because your needs are nobody else's problem.
I can’t blame you for walking away from this situation. You have better things to do than deal with people like this.
Agreed! Not to mention this goose chase may have resulted in Casey being in a predicament!
When I was young I used to do everything I could to help people. Around the time that some people I had previously helped got angry when I wasn't available to help with their new crisis I changed my mind.
Now as an old man I play dumb and useless most of the time.
Amen to that.
When people are young and inexperienced, they don’t understand this. But like everyone else and every generation, they know that you can only do so much before it starts taking a toll on you too!
you are not dumb,just wise and conserving your energy😄
I learned that lesson the hard way too. I had a portable welder and got called whenever someone broke something. Of course all on my dime.
I think you went the extra mile with these folks and avoided the step "too far." I once took extensive training in how to help people who found themselves in difficult personal or emotional situations. The first rule we learned was, "If you want to help somebody get out of pit, don't climb into the pit."
I think he went an extra 480 miles! We've all been there in one way.. sucks!
You beat me to it. I was gonna say 499 miles. But... Since this just randomly showed up on my recommended.... Oh well. Ha ha
What a way to make a living, dealing with idiots every day of your life.
Someone has to lol glad its not me. Dont have the patience for others
No good deed goes unpunished.
And neither does a bad deed!
@@lynne6433 you don't pay attention to politics much do you?
Absolutely.
Fact
You already did WAY more than she deserved. Best part of this video was the drone race!
Hopefully some agency will make them remove it and bill them for their stupidity.
If there is a license plate or vin. Number on it somebody will turn in the last owner.
Lol that's a bill I wouldn't want
Hopefully you'll learn some day, to not wish bad things, on others! The world is a mirror...
@@tobiastho9639no but leaving a car full of gasoline oil toxic antifreeze, gear oil etc brake fluid power steering fluid in the desert to rot when eventually all of these things you're going to leach into the ground, not to mention just abandoning your multi-thousand pound vehicle in the middle of nowhere is okay? Whoever put that vehicle there shift pay the full price of removing it and pay for any environmental damage that is caused by it. That's how it works it's not wishing something bad on somebody. It's called accountability. Oh that's right it's 2024 that doesn't exist anymore
@@mikeprimm4077 I never said anything about the enviroment, vehicle or the people who drove it there... I hope they can resolve the issues they got and get the help they need. Wish you all the best too!
I feel like this is a great example of what it is like trying to help people with mental illness. You spent a lot of time, money and energy based on what she told you she needed. Turns out she didnt know or wasn't able to communicate what she really needed.
27% of adult Oregonians have some type of mental illness. 4.2 million population, so, over 1 million of them, and very limited resources.
Maybe that's why Oregonians are so helpful. We have to be. ☮️👍
My wife's aunt is like that. She's a handicapped 60 going on 15.
We have a doctor here....😂
Some people ARE just assholes....
@@muppetpaster I'm 72 years old. The ratio of azzhole is running 90 % for rich people... 10% for poor people.
Unreal , karma will find her and her husband . What a joke that lady is.
We weren’t even remotely close. The information was completely different every time I talked to her, and the actual location of the car is nowhere close to any of it. He walked a LONG way for SAR to find him where they did
@@CaseyLaDelleare they both crack addled?
Yep
@@CaseyLaDelle cool story
@@CaseyLaDelle - Have to wonder if the long walk is what put him in the hospital? Like over stressing a bad ticker? Good on you all for trying to help!
Casey you did all that you could and clearly wasn't given all the correct information. The fact she fired you once i wouldn't have went back a second time.
They choose not to be honest with you and you cant help people that don't want the help.
Good to see your dad in a video you two work good as a team
We're Oregonians.
We help each other.
If you are in Oregon, you're one of us. Whatever your problem. ☮️
@@outlawbillionairez9780 I get that however there is a difference between using someone and not giving them all the information and wanting help so you make sure they have all the information. You can't help people who don't want the help so they lie to you. I see it happen a lot people call for help because they know people will help then they leave out information or lie to them and not worry about it.
@@outlawbillionairez9780go fix Portland then!
Good morning, Casey and Casey's Dad. I am so glad you walked away from this one. Something tells me it would have been a nightmare in more ways than one. Yep, definitely going to need get the buffer out and do some work.
You did the right thing by quitting the search!
You went out twice and did the best you could both times, that is more than many would attempt. Don’t let it get you down!
It's hard to find a pin in a haystack when your in the wrong haystack.
Those people have no idea where that vehicle is. They just want you to go on a wild goose chase. I sure hope you are getting compensated for this. It was nice to see your Dad again.
Good point. If the husband's car is stuck in the middle of a boulder field, how were they able to "drive right to it."?
This is an example of what a mechanic I worked with said all the time. They come to you with a problem and if you touch it at all it’s all your problem and they want you to fix it the way they expect or else. As you said firing you was a favor to you.
Same with many tasks,once you START it always becomes your problem,even following specific instructions, if gut feeling says run away.... sprint
Casey got to spend time with his dad and see some beautiful country and fly his drone. Win win even if he can’t recover that car.
Just to help people understand just how big of an area they are searching Casey said it was 79 square miles. Each square mile is 640 acres so they are searching an area that is as follows: 640 X 79 = 50,560 acres.
Can't blame you for quitting Casey! You did everything in your power to find it and wasted time and fuel trying to be a nice guy.
My second time watching this video today, and I have come to the same conclusion both times, you’re a good man Casey LaDelle.
Casey I am proud of your efforts. It's sad the couple are unable to appreciate your kindness to them.
And we get to meet Casey’s father! Have we got the family covered? I’m sure he and Grumpy would be interesting travel companions. Great job putting way more work into this effort for free than it justifies.
Meet him AGAIN....
Casey's dad has been in a few previous videos. He's a good-natured curmudgeon a lot like Grumpy, lol.
His dad has been in at least 4 or 5 other videos. His dad even had his jeep out climbing with Matt's off road recovery when Casey was in Hurricane,UT when Matt started the build of the worlds largest off road wrecker. If memory serves me correctly, i do believe his dads jeep broke down on that excursion?😂
You did more than most would👍😎 The drone race with your Dad was fun😂 Stay safe out there!❤️🙏
I believe this represents the perfect example of why many "for hires" back in ... ummm, a long time ago along with standard charges for services rendered had a notice posted regarding attitude fees.
At least we got to watch two awesome videos you made! We really do appreciate the effort you made and the entertainment value of the search. Thanks for all you do!
I agree Casey. It’s these instances that make one doubt their choice of helping others.
We're Oregonians. We help each other.
I'm amazed at the mental capacity of some people when it comes to having anything done, and I'm surprised at your decision to do what you did without any compensation.
Was he on drugs driving that car offroad?
I don't know what to say about this one. It blows me away that someone sent you on a long, time consuming, expensive search, for a junk car. Its really hard to be the good guy all the time. Don't let the bad ones deter you from your vis
How some people manage to get through life is mystifying
Nice that you were so kind. But run from these people if you see them. Crazy can’t be fixed.
im speechless casey. your ability to "go where no man has gone before " with a smile and be as helpful as you can is unbelievable . i hope you were commensurated for your efforts to some extent . i am currently reflecting on a lifetime of such personal experiences . take care.
There are some people who do not need to own a car much less drive one. Your tenacity and generosity are outstanding.
Knowing you, you must have a friend with an airplane. Why quit now?
It takes all sorts and, when you don’t have an adequate filter, like a retainer fee before embarking on a wild goose chase, you’re going to meet more than your fair share of the ones you’d rather avoid.
I don’t think there’s anyone else who’d try to search an area that size, especially with such vague directions, never mind do it for free.
He’s lucky he wasn’t relying on his directions for S&R to come and save him.
Some TH-camr once stated: Get out before their problem becomes your problem.
My brain is screwy sometimes. I pictured an antelope with black sunglasses driving by your vehicle with the vehicle you were looking for. 🦌🚗😆
Hey Casey....at least you got to spend time with your Dad. Now that is priceless..
In spite of issues with the woman and her husband, lots of quality time with your Dad, just before Father's Day! 😊 Good job winning the drone race. Have you ever done on video on your Drone and its capabilities? Would be interested in that.
Everyone knows how hard you try to do the right thing for the right reasons,
Its not you fault that lady drove her husband krazy.
Don't worry,
Be happy. 😊
Your determination was worthy of a way better cause… Love your sense of humor though; thanks for the insightful map, into this whole lot of green nothingness.
Always honest effort and talk from Casey. Casey, I hard wired my gen set to my Pod 180 today, works great. Also, I checked to see if everything is fastened, all is good from straw palace territory.
A+ for effort. I am sorry they waited your time, energy, money and last but not least kindness. You are a good MAN Casey.
Glad to see your Dad is out and about with you.
Well it wasn't a complete waste of time - you did get to see Antelope and wild horses in a natural setting.
Wild horses are an invasive species and need to be removed, not admired!
someone should inform the land owner or the authorities that there is a abandoned car left in the wilderness. they then will find someone to tow it and send them the bill. it is just not ok to leave wreckage in nature or on public or on someone else's land. if you go off road it is your responsibility to have a plan to recover any stranded car or items. and almost all off roaders have such a plan and friends to fix any issues. the few bad apples will have trails and areas closed for all of us.
You are the land owner
I imagine that you have spent over $300 in diesel looking for the car. You are dedicated!
Hopefully the expense is tax deductible.
Plus the scratches! But dont worry the videos make up for the tow and fuel..But its a great day with his dad!
Casey, I just stumbled onto your channel and am impressed by your attitude toward your work and your clients. I applaud you. Having said that, let me pass on what a colleague of mine told me a couple of decades ago, that has been valuable information. Rarely had to be used, but it is still valuable. "The most important thing you need to learn is when to fire your client." Too true.
Thank you for all you do. !!
I'm with you and all of the above. I'm glad you walked away. You even used two drones and couldn't find it and you did exactly what the little map said. We all learn lessons and this is one we all should learn from. The exact at where your vehicle is. Or a good map
Thanks for the update! People are just stupid sometimes and can’t be helped!!
Well Casey, you had some nice bonding time with your Dad and had a chance to see wild horses. Cool video my friend!
You, Ben & your dad all went above n beyond what most woulda ! And for a woman that didn't seen very appreciative in the first place.
Y'all done good 👌🇺🇸
You are dedicated. Truely appreciated your assistance. Keep up the good rescue.
No matter how HARD you try, in the end, WE CAN NOT FIX STUPID
I really appreciate your attitude and humor. It's good to see a clever, decent, honest human on You Tube.
YOU TRIED MULTIPLE TIMES THAT IS ALL YOU CAN DO! THANK YOU FOR TRYING TO HELP!
It is Good news she has a vehicle, stinks that the old car is so far in horrible area that the damage and cost to the equipment and vehicle itself to get out isnt worth it and at least you are being honest with the lady. CANNOT HELP EVERYONE!
AWESOME! GOOD TO SEE YOUR DAD!
Be Safe!
Keep Your Head Up!
👍
Awesome that through all of this you still had an adventure and drone races with your dad! Still a win....that alone is priceless.
Thanks for the update Casey. Still a pretty good day at your office though!!!
I've been through the desert on a horse with No Name, it felt good to be out of the rain...
Your oil change sticker 6:20 🔍🧐
"Whenever Your choice " 😆👏👏
Casey I just found your channel a few days ago. You are a most caring person, may God be with you
I have enjoyed this video.... there are so many reasons not to find the car..... The man who owned the car had a stroke and as such He may have a false memory which means the vehicle he was driving could be in the next county ..... I wish you the best of luck....... You have an awesome channel..... I love watching you do rescues....
Stay strong your just realizing how your faith in ppl is bigger then they believe they are themselves. It's never perfect and ppl get off on slander
A lesson in people pleasing, I feel. Good on ya for finally stepping away.
Hope she watches your videos and see how hard you tried to find it. All the miles you drove and all the fuel you used and put wear and tear on your trucks. You did your best and most would not of done half of what you did. It's ok you did ya best trying to help the family. Worse part is she is ungrateful for all your efforts
No one can accuse you of not going beyond and above, twice! on this one. I'm sorry that you didn't find the vehicle but sometimes you can't let someone's stupidity suck you in like it did in this instance. That was far too expensive. Hopefully that woman learned a lesson and doesn't give her husband use of the vehicle again, it may end much worse next time. Always enjoy seeing your dad. Glad you two got to spend time together. Thank you for helping folks, I know most of them truly appreciate it. Stay safe and GOD bless
You made a good call to walk away from this one, Casey. And cherish your times with your dad. I wish mine was still around to do things like desert driving and drone racing with.
Casey, I wonder if the Civil Air Patrol could help out by using the situation as a training exercise??? Thanks for all you do to help folks out!! OOPS!! Looks like I should have read the comments first before commenting.
I was thinking the same thing. The C.A.P. needs to fly training missions. Wouldn't hurt to ask them if they could help out in something like this.
On the plus side... quality time with your dad! And you know in your heart that you did the gentlemanly thing by trying to help even though the lady was not a humble person.
Thx for an informative and entertaining video with excellent content and production. God helps those who help themselves. Stay Healthy Casey. Thx
And her name was Karen 😊
Good to see your dad in video, hope his knees are doing well
You'll have to add a wild goose chase fee to your contract
This sounds like the Fish that got away Story! 🤣
Not a deeply religious Catholic by any means, but the Serenity Prayer has served me well the last 30 years, not because it is a prayer but because its meaning is very real, profound, and a very good guide to resolving issues like this.
i myself lived there in oregon 30 plus years and i graduated at Bend high school back in 1992. Must say hats off to you guys for putting up with arrogant people. Not all of them are bad but theres a few rotten apples. i missed that country i know the area well. Now i reside in central kentucky. keep up with your good work sir. love your videos
Enjoyed seeing you w your Dad. Miles of land in either directon. Too cool w the drones.
Thks for the Round two search party for car. Casey you going out the second time is above and beyond the call of duty! Given the Wrong info twice, it was a failed attempt. If there’s anything good that came of this, you was able to spend time with your dad, both fly your drone and finally won the landing contest. Call it a day and Don’t look back 🤙😎
Thank you for posting this "part 2" of the adventure of the not succesfull recovery. After looking to part 1 I was wondering if anybody ever found back that car.😊😊
Thank You for another fine video . To bad they gave you such BAD info
Leave it lost Casey it’s not worth it to deal with this mess
You are an awesome person, Casey.
You tried harder than most people would have! I wouldn't take the chance on tearing my equipment for it.
Glad you know where your limits are when it's just time to walk away.
That was very kind of you, your dad and ben to spend hours and money trying to help someone out. Maybe next time, do a quick satellite image search of the area prior to adventuring out or have the person do a search for you.
Great job, for the awful directions you were given. Looks like you had a great time with Dad.
Just watched the first video yesterday and was sad there was no follow-up. Nice!
Morning Casey....
You put in WAY more time and effort to try and retrieve this vehicle than ANYONE else would have on their own dime...
The fact that you went out a SECOND TIME, after the woman was so nasty to you (and FIRED YOU), speaks volumes for the kind of man you are...
You got to spend some one on one time with your dad, and I'm sure he's very proud of you, your ethics about work, and the way you live your life...
Safe travels, friend ❤️❤️
Stay FROSTY...
Keep your powder dry and your head on a swivel...

They sound like wonderful people.
We saw antelope in Colorado while driving through the country to Salida. It's always amazing to see wildlife in nature that you normally only see at a zoo.
You put more effort into than I would've. And way more than she deserves.
I work in Survey and we use drones for many applications,
One idea would be to select a grid and do grid flights over areas quickly, take the footage home to review on a big screen and you won’t waste so much time hunting, grids are very easy to set up and the drone will do all the work
Went down Fredrick butte few weeks ago, many puddles in road, three lakes I never seen b4. Even pulled Pod 180.
You've got the patience of Job for sure. Apparenlty a good sense of humor besides.
I'd say any further, yer "throwing good after bad."
I was about to suggest finding one of the Experimental Pilots and make a broader sweep...
Good job, thanks for sharing Casey.
Nice to see ya Pop🇺🇸🏁🇺🇸🙂😎🤔
I knew how it was going to end, but I still hoped you would find the car while watching this.
That's quite a wild goose chase! What kind of drone do you use?
DJI mini 3
Casey, glad you're walking away from this. From the description you'd need some kind of sled to drag / slide it out on
To but the area into perspective driving 50 miles per hour takes roughly 1 hour. As chuck said in "castaway" they may never find us.
Good luck Casey and dad I've got faith in your ability.
