AUSTIN (July 24, 2009)—The low level of Lake Travis because of the drought is leading to the discovery of some vehicles believed stolen decades ago.

Travis County sheriff's Detective Mike Morton said the dropping lake level has allowed "some treasures to pop up,"

One recovered sports car, reported stolen in 1988 still had the keys in the ignition.

A Kawasaki motorcycle removed from Thursday from Lake Travis at Pace Bend Park was stolen in June.

Investigators say it was once easy for criminals to push cars over the edge of high cliffs in Pace Bend Park, until natural barriers were put in place during the 1990s.
