Extremely sad to see this Loren !! and ....it sure does feel like we've been reading 'X type of Vanagon stolen in the Seattle area' ..a LOT this year.

I'd be curious it it's a high rate of theft for all cars ... or just vanagons, there. It's certainly easy to think that perhaps these stolen vanagons are done by a group of people ..or just one or two people that have a thing about vanagons.

Can anyone afford a private investigator ?? I can't imagine the police would make it a high priority to work on this repeating vangon theft thing. If anyone wants to do a group effort, I will contribute. < I've been doing hours of legal research lately . Some very disturbed younger vanagon owners I know are making ludicrous just silly-exaggerated claims and seeking huge funds that are vastly out of proportion to anything remotely reasonable. It's just a money-grab scam. I have 5 lawyers to interview Monday ! We can't let the manipulators and bad guys take advantage of us. >

if it was me .. I'd be talking to lots of people Monday morning ..anyone who might be able to do something. I imagine huge sums could dissappear with a private investator . I like these guys in the Seattle area ... http://www.powersinvestigations.com/ though I don't know if they ever work on something like a car theft ring.

I also want to know....please, if there is any info .. HOW are these vanagons getting stolen ? window broken then rip the ignition lock out , ......or ?

and why not use those locking things that connect the steering wheel to the brake pedal ...? Can't hurt.

crazy. and from right in front of the house too ! my favorite anti-theft system is one where the car goes a mile or so, then quits, and locks the doors to the perps are trapped in the car until the cops arrive. I think I'd check how much a LoJac is. ..or some tracking system. Let's have a group purchase on vanagon tracking systems. poor crazy people. ( the bad guys ) whew.
