Stolen Van Resurfaced 35 Years Later

Sunday, 08 November 2009 | by Pat's Picks

A van that was stolen 35 years ago in Washington has resurfaced in a shipping container at a California port. The Spokane Spokesman-Review says the VW van was on its way to the Netherlands to be sold. When custom officials ran the vehicle’s identification number through a database, they were surprised to see a police report from 1974 - national databases that track auto thefts usually keep information for only five years. The insurance company that originally insured the van is going through its records trying to find its owner.
