Karl,  If we are to advertise the best way in where it is a win-win
situation for everyone we should ask the thief to:

1. first examine van to determine where the most rust, dings and nicks are
(like my rear door)
2. to ensure total destruction of that part use a sledge, crow bar of some
other blunt instrument
3. beat the h*ll out of it and crawl through the hole
------
3a. if the paint job on the van is really bad run the crow bar around the
van a couple of times before taking off.

P.S. Thief, if you do break into my van, take the carpet too.  Thanks.....
but Officer, I'm sure I had a stock pop top and a refrig in this GL and the
Hope Diamond

Once this is accomplished you should surely be able to get a new piece for
the van (like my rear door) and a total paint job.

Them that want in badly enough will get in, one way or another.  Usually a
vent window.

Y' Hear that everybody!  Use the VENT WINDOW.  They cost less to replace!
