Hi,

My beloved '73 Westfalia went missing from South-East London on Friday night. I'm really hoping it might have been towed since it had a steering lock on, but so far the police say it's not down as having been towed. It seems like there may have been a few campers stolen around London lately?

It's painted in the original green colour, with white trim and has quite a discoloured tilt-up roof on top. There's a black and white dragon bumper sticker on the rear bumper, and a 'Strongbad' sticker on the back window (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/8/83/Strong_Bad.png)

It has white curtains, and royal blue seat covers in the back. Front seats are light brown plastic.

There's a big dent (painted over) on the passenger side rear wheel arch.

I've attached a couple of pics (which predate the stickers).

Reg. number is RPH 412L.


Please, please keep an eye out for it, and let me know if you spot it. On here, or on 07932 036 535. If you have any suggestions of other places to try to get the word out, I'd really appreciate it. I want my van back!   

Thanks for reading,


Chris Sutton

Thanks for the suggestions! I'm constantly surprised by how friendly and helpful the VW community is, everyone's so quick to be kind and help out...

we are just down the road...so eyes peeled here. Everytime I see a bus in a side street I slow down to check it out....[that might make me look dodgy!] I'll also speak to a few of the local vw garages round here.
