Bump for some new pictures of the getaway van.. Anyone recognize that crown-like logo? Anyone have any idea what company that might be?

That's Possible. Animated layering of the crown


**It can also be an old bud truck with the decals removed but leaving the dirty print around it.
Notice how the dark spots fit around the logo that i've inserted?

Maybe give this a try. Contact the police to see if they can get a listing from budweiser of used trucks/vans that were sold

We sell brakes, clutches, shocks, & tires. No service, just parts distribution.

Mikal, thanks! Your animation makes so much sense. Unfortunately, the cops around here don't seem to care. They consider this minor and wouldn't do any extra investigation. When the 6 police cars came, all 6 officers went in first to clear the place. They just looked around really fast and just left saying that they probably used gloves and there's no need to get prints. I talked to my buddy which is also a cop of the LAPD and he said that if I really wanted to do something about this, I would need to hire a private investigator. These things happen too often so the police just lets it happen.

It kinda sucks that they dont want to do anything. Catchings these *******s would result in lower crime rate. Isnt that what the police is paid for? So i dont see why they dont investigate. Thats their job right? Local Merchants pay a big part of their pay anyways with sales & use tax.

You're exactly right. I donated $250 to the local police in January just so they can send me a stupid plaque. I originally said no, but they kept calling every other day. I just said yes so they would stop bugging me. They even rushed someone out to me with the plaque the next day to pick up the check.

I want my money back!

Yea, they kept bugging me before. I keep saying sorry.. i wont be making a donation. Never bugged me since. hmm.. Do you have the plaque up? Maybe the didnt dust for prints was because they didnt see the plaque on your wall.

make sure to save some favorite searches on ebay for any criteria that they might put in the item title; size, brand, model number, then also save a favorite search for just wheels and rims but set it to search within 200 miles or so. that way if anything gets listed you will get an email about it.

Thanks for the tip!


Mikal.. The plaque is in a box somewhere in storage.. As for your animation, a fellow from NSXPrime says he owns a van that used to belong to Budweiser, and he says that it does look possible that that is what it is on the picture I have posted...

I hope you find these scumbags. Here's a quick photoshop enhanced version.

There's a little more contrast you can pick out.
