    REWARD! Adventurewagen STOLEN - $100 (haight ashbury)

      Last seen 3/22 on Oak at Ashbury. There are only 2 or 3 vans that
      look like this in the city, so if you see one with license plate
      starting "4PTV" that's mine.

      If you have any info call 415-225-8727.

      $100 Reward for information leading to the return of my van.

      Please keep your eyes out for this van, thanks for the bandwidth!
