Mercedes-Benz S600

Four months. Two Mercedes-Benz S600s. One actor. That’s right folks, the saga of Charlie Sheen’s 'self-crashing' Mercedes-Benzs continues, as another of the actor’s luxury rides has been found mysteriously wrecked just off Mulholland Drive in California.

The mysterious series of events began this past February when police received a 911 call in the middle of the night reporting that a black Mercedes-Benz S600 had been spotted down a cliff off Mulholland Drive. At about the same time, Sheen placed a call to report that his 2009 Mercedes-Benz S600 had been stolen. Police investigated the hillside surrounding the crashed vehicle, but found no evidence indicating that there was anybody injured, let alone in the vehicle, during the crash, and that was thought to be the end of the story.

But now, four months later, the headlines are eliciting a strange sense of deja vu. On Tuesday morning, a silver S600 was found laying at the bottom of Mulholland Drive. Once again, first responders found the vehicle to be abandoned with the keys still inside. Once again, there is no evidence of anybody being injured during the crash. Once again, authorities are treating the investigation as a stolen vehicle report, but this time they only discovered that the vehicle belonged to Sheen, who was at home during the incident, after running the car’s plates.

I know that we should be concerned that something terrible is happening at Charlie Sheen’s house. Either he keeps crashing, keeps getting burglarized, keeps having domestic disputes that end in car wrecks, or somebody’s just screwing with him. But at the end of the day I can’t help but see who’s lying at the bottom of the cliff: two beautiful, $149,700, 5.5-liter V-12 S600s being pulled by 510 horses. I suppose that as long as nobody gets hurt and Sheen keeps earning a whopping $1.8 million per episode for his work on Two and a Half Men, this whole mystery of the disappearing cars will remain a humorous anecdote to tell around the office water-cooler.
