I've been following this facebook post about a stolen hightop vanagon
https://www.facebook.com/groups/14717816843/posts/..._tn__=R]-R
The owner reported it stolen back from a Los Angeles suburb in December 2021. More recently some guy was watching a CBS affiliate story about a property owner in Granada Hills, CA (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mvE0kYLFCUw). Drone footage showed a brief image what looked like red vanagon parked amongst all the other junk cars, trucks and buses.
He posted in the VW Westfalia facebook group asking if anyone knew of a missing hightop vanagon and sure enough someone did. The owner is supposed to get to recover his bus within the hour.
This is a small drop of the positive power of social media.
Congrats on getting your Vanagon back. |

Good. All too often the owner never gets their property back after it’s stolen. Or it’s a complete wreck after being recovered. |
