This is the "kidmapper van." At least that is how "the guys" here at the shop refer to it. (note the fact that there are NO windows in the back, and it is unmarked) In reality it is not used to napp any kids, rather, it used to house a $20,000 carpet cleaning machine. One night some people hopped over into the yard and hot wired it, then they rammed the gate down with it and drove away(it is nigh invulnerable). Several days later the van was recovered, but without the cleaning machinery. For a while it served to haul a few things here and there, or if the Toyota was being used I would have to use it to go pull permits or what have you. One morning I used it to back into my boss' new Chevy truck, he was the quite the opposite of pleased, but as you can see, I am still alive.
I really am not the best back-er upp-er in the world. I hit and bent an aluminum fence postwith the Chevy 1-ton, and one time I backed into my dad's trailer in my old Ford Taurus, but I have gotten better at reversing. I was practicing for a while by backing into my driveway at home...which is a pretty tight fit, which is why I stopped doing it.
I think I must have gotten a bad gene. My sister has it too, she backed into my moms car one time, or rather, backed along...she left lines of white scratch marks down the length of my mother's red car. The kicker was when she told my mom, "Well, at least my car is alright!"
Anhow, I think they are asking $8,000 for the kidnapper van, let me know if you are interested.

Well I must admit that I'm not intersted in the van AT ALL, however - isn't that the van where the thief jumped out and left footprints all over the ground at your work? If I remember right, their footprints even went into the brush, around the parking lot, and finally out the gate!!!!
Actually, it was the painters van that was being thieved, hence the paint.
