Thanks Chris. Great conclusion to this big commotion that i started. Now
that this information is available to the entire world, i'm sure we'll be
seeing "stolen vanagon" posts popping up left and right! Seriously, this is
a good thing to know, because all of us will either lock our keys in or lose
them at one point. And it will be in some place where AAA is not an option
because your cell phone cant get reception, and hungry mountain lions are
prowling around in the dark. And as for the hidden spare key, why not keep
that hidden inside, like under the drivers seat so if you lose your keys,
you can just break in and grab it. That way, there's no risk of a thief
finding it, and simply driving your van away with no effort at all. Thanks
to everyone for the information!
