This 1989 VW poptop campervan has taken us many places. Three weeks ago she was stolen from outside our house in Melbourne. As you all know a campervan is not just a vehicle it's a dream it's a home it's part of you. So we're hoping she's found.
She has a few distinguishing features - blue stripes down the side, silver Matt roo bar, pop top with roof racks, small dent on right rear bumper and side, full Trakka conversion inside, new gas stove.
If you think you've seen her - could you please take a picture and tell me where and when by email. Her number plate when she was stolen was 1AI 4XF.
Also check Gumtree to see if anyone is selling it, I have also seen others put posts on Gumtree in the RV section giving details of their stolen rig....

Thanks - have been checking Gumtree but hadn't thought about listing it there - great idea.
Will also look up CIAVIC.
Many thanks

I repeated your thread in the General Section Ruby, it will get more exposure there, 237 views so far, they all help for others to keep an eye out.
My daughter had a tablet stolen (my granddaughters) recently, saw it on Gumtree (had an distinguishing mark on it) reported it to the police and the offender was arrested and tablet recovered undamaged.

I'd be devastated if my rig was stolen. It means everything to me. I wish you all the luck in the world to catch the mongrel(s) who stole it.

Hi guys. Dont know if this helps or is correct but saw a camper that looked just like this parked outside Bunnings in Caloundra Qld. No tyre on front but identical apart from that. It had W.A. plates. Will keep an eye out in the area and not sure if it is just a similar van. If I see it again will take photo on phone. Good luck. Phil
