Thieves make off with Vacationer's Van in Vancouver

A vacationing couple from Wisconsin are appealing for the public's help after thieves stole their motorhome from a Vancouver street. Compounding their loss, all of the couple's valuable documents and mementos were inside the motorhome, as they have recently begun several years of travelling.
 
The theft is believed to have occurred overnight on August 1st, sometime between 11:00 p.m. and 8:00 a.m., from the 1800 block of Francis Street in Vancouver. The owners, a couple in their sixties, had sublet an apartment for the summer after making Vancouver their first stop in an extended road trip around North America.
 
While the value of the motorhome exceeds $100,000, the loss of personal documents and mementos has been even more devastating.  The couple, along with police, are appealing for the public to keep an eye out for the distinctive motorhome in the hopes that it will be found sooner.
 
The vehicle is a Chevrolet G3500 Express Camper van, Road Trek Class B Unit, golden / brown in colour, with dark trim on the bottom.  There is a black cargo box in the back and a TV antenna on the top.  The van is 21 feet long and eight feet high, with a distinctive exhaust vent on the top and there is damage to the front bumper on the passenger side.
 
The van has Wisconsin licence plates "RDTRPRS" (sounds like roadtrippers).
 
If anyone sees this stolen vehicle they are asked to call 9-1-1 and not approach the vehicle.
