Vanagon Westies are definitely a "cool" coastal thing plus a few college towns in the upper Midwest and all over Colorado, of course. Cars are usually stolen for parts, or sometimes driven into containers for shipping to overseas black markets.

Not going to happen with an old Vanagon!

It's still worth getting an alarm to protect the contents from opportunistic smash and grabbers looking for beer in that little fridge. Might deter some of them anyway.

All this makes me chuckle but it also makes me slightly nervous. I need to park my vans unattended, sometimes for long periods. Are they now cool enough to steal?
