Must be something about covers for vans of any kind.  When working at FLAPS
we used to hear about van covers being ripped off all the time.  It was rare
we heard of a car one being stolen.  At the price of a cover and the fact
that they are normally difficult to get off of most vans with one person we
were always confused by the thefts.
