WTF?  Metal recyclers?

I have one since I replaced my fridge with shelves, and I knew someone would
need it someday.  Pmail me with your address and I'll send it to you.  You
can buy me a beer next time I'm in So Cal.

Try using Torx head screws this time, or better yet the secure Torx screws
with a post in the center to keep small screwdrivers out:

Subject: stolen part off 87 westy need outside cover for fridge vent

HI

last night some one stole the vent cover for the fridge off the out side of
our 87 camper

one of the hazards of living in Venice not much space and so the vanagon
westy lives on the street in front of our house

when I get it re painted  will need to find a garage to rent  but in Venice
that will be $ 500 a month if I can find one

any one have a line on where I can get one  ??  also need to know what
screws are needed as they took all

when I put it back will use screws with an uncommon type of head  not a
phillips  perhaps that might slow them down

have a 70 watt solar panel on the roof  always thought that is what would be
stolen  but perhaps it is too hard and obvious to take

like the site   lots of good information  even though there is one heck of a
lot of just chatter  learning to id it and trash   the excess

I'm  over 70  run two businesses  have had VW cars and busses / vans  since
late 50s   first was a bug euro model mid 50s  had the pop out turn sigenals
had to hit them every time I got in it

during the winter or they were frozen into place lived in Sioux City back
then

we do most of our camping during the winter when the crumb crushers are home
camp in the rain  snow  etc
