Subject:      stolen VW van found - our five minutes of recognition?
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1

Did anyone else hear the bit on Morning Edition about a vanagon stolen
decades ago that just showed up in a shipping container routed for Germany?
Apparently it had been there all along, and is in pristine condition.
Belongs to Allstate, which had paid off the insurance claim ages ago.

Yippee, the vanagon made it to NPR with something other than Car Talk
ridicule!
