If van is as good on the inside as it is on the outside, one wouldn't want to make it a parts-mobile.  Hopefully I can find out tomorrow what the police do with abandoned vehicles.

Second, if the tires are in really good shape please remove them and send them, I used to have a full set of new tires and when I looked at them last night they were all used tires, go figure..

When I came home this evening van was still there.  No license plates.  There was a large red decal on the center of the tailgate with the text, "Semper Fi."
