STOLEN in SFO: GTRV 4x4

[BrianW]

Updated: owner of this van is now on the forum and posted more info/photos on page two of this thread.

As seen on CL: Van stolen in SFO, keep an eye out for parts, etc. (not my van)

From the ad:

Van was stolen in the night from Oct 28 - Oct 29 -- Please let me know if you see it somewhere online or on the streets.
It seems like it was a professional theft, so the plates, VIN and perhaps the color or other features will look different when resold. THANKS !

That really sucks, sorry to hear. You mentioned you have the SF parking sticker on it, out of curiosity, did you leave it parked on the street in SF all the time/frequently?

Agree: "Dislike" That sucks man, sorry to hear that.

I think the OP posted this as "FYI"... not actually his van that got stolen.

Right, not my van. Just a heads-up to keep an eye out for the van, or more likely, random parts from it. (Aluminess tire carrier, etc.)

I've really never understood the economics of stealing vehicles... Until this one. Not advocating it by any means, but definitely changes the game when vehicles sell for $60k.

Sucks.

Curious how one moves a stolen item like this... Matter different years?http://rockies.craigslist.org/cto/4739224875.html ... Maybe a lead, who knows.
