Mods, thanks for the edits.
This isn't my van or my words, I just posted a screen shot from another site.
Here's hoping it's found soon. _________________ - Jim

Update: Van was recovered on Friday morning about 2 hours after reporting it stolen to the police. It was found about 8-10 blocks from where it was stolen. |
