Where are you located? That would help.

Also, I'll keep an eye out, but I'm sure there are already a few people that might be suspects in this theft.

Chop their hands off or force them to live with bamboo chutes shoved under their fingernails permanently.

I hope you get your stuff back.

Thieves suck. Lowest form of slime.

^^^who got them? Everett can pull the ads from the archive and compare to the stolen ones, but I find it hard to believe that the thief would be dumb enough to try and sell stolen parts here. We will be watching...

judging by what was taken,there well versed in buses and knew what to take and where to get it :evil:

its horrible if you suspect someone you trust,nos/rare parts for bd's should be obvious to real bus guys and they'l crop up,hope these scumbags get done good and proper!!!

http://www.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/detail.php?id=1255511 those looks like the right color smae as the ones on the singlecab. maybe tcon can try and call his number and ask if he has other parts? just say your have a project bus or something

Tcon stated "shortened set of safari windows" meaning post BD frames made to fit BD which is what is shown in his photo.
The Frames that were recently advertised were BD frames. Note the hinges and lack of such in tcon's photo.
I wouldnt suspect the advertiser .
Bummer on the theft. Good luck.
