    Seriously, its nowhere to be found.

    I parked out on the street infront my house, killed the engine, took the keys with me. I went inside and made a quick meal to eat, couldnt have been more than 10 minutes I walk into the living room and notice my old, rusty, empty, but reliable van had either

    A: Spontaneously Combusted,

    or

    B: Been hotwired and taken for a joyride, (I thought that shit only happened in the movies haha)

    Well good job to the culprit anyhow, they did it pretty fast.

    Heres to hoping they just needed it for the night! I got to get to work tomorrow...:nopity:

    Has this ever happened to you?

    My picnic table was missing one day and then reappeared two days later.

    In your case however I'd be a bit more pissed.

    i haven't had a vehicle stolen. i had one towed once, while i was on vacation in florida.

    if my vehicle disappeared one day, i would not assume it would reappear in time for work the next day.

    My mother's car disappeared one morning, but it turns out that it was towed because her tags were expired. Did you call the police and make a report?

    I once had a car parked at a train station and I had the back left unlocked. Someone found out and took all the lights and wiring out of the trunk and back. When I got back it was dark and without noticing I didn't had lights at the back I drove home. I even did hit the brakes extra when I came to a crossing and thought the car behind me was getting too close. But the brake lights didn't work neither of course :D It all ended without accidents though :p A whole van gone really sucks man. I hope it's a joke of a friend or something otherwise you probably not gonna see it back :(

    the guys that stole my car got pulled over for excessive noise. I hadnt reported my car missing yet. I found the citation in my car with their address on it. I later robbed their house of all electronics and copper pipe. fuck em.. :)

    That sucks!

    Also, I don't want to seem weird or anything, but have you ever posted videos of hoop dancing in the redwoods on youtube? I saw a video from someone with the same username and I was just wondering if that was you?

    My car was stolen from a parking lot one night. The cops found it 10 days later, abandoned on a curb. I got my car back with a smashed out window. My knee-high moccasins were not returned. :/

    Thanks for all the replies! I havnt been on here in a while,

    I ended up getting a call about two weeks later from a towing company saying they had found my van parked on this random street far from my house. When I went to pick it up I was surprised to find it all in one piece still, and the gas tank more full than when it was stolen haha.

    Who ever took it used a screw driver to break apart the steering column and start it with the screwdriver, they also left the tool in it... I now use it to start the van wherever I go.

    I didn't make it to work the next night, and I ended up quitting my job a couple days later, everything is great though and im still cruising in the old beast! :afro:
