Having been in and around auto/truck industry most of my life, I have
learned a few things that have helped get vehicle and or parts of said back,

Simply drop your business card down into the doors, toss another under the
dash, etc. This broke up a "chop shop" ring in the Chicago area back in the
mid 70's, guy bought back his own car doors and the business cards was the
proof.

Sorry ta hear your van is gon.
