Hi folks,

We are looking for a blue 1988 Toyota van, WA license 465MGP. It was last seen in Tacoma on Saturday, February 15th about 8:00pm. At the time it was stolen, it had a big (32" wide) sticker on the back hatch (between the window and license plate) that said "SalmonUniversity.com" in white and blue letters. Some other distinguishing characteristics are that it had black Yakima roof racks on it, it is a four wheel drive van (says FWD on it) and some of the rear windows are tinted.

As many of you may know, I'm the webmaster for the Salmon University web site. Last night, after our day-long SU class in Tacoma, a group of us went out to dinner. During the hour and a half we were in the restaurant, my girlfriend's van was stolen from the restaurant parking lot, along with all the stuff that was in it, like boxes of SU T-shirts and SU hats, all of our pictures, and many other items.

If you live in the Tacoma area and you see this van, please call the Tacoma Police Department immediately (253-591-5950) and report it. We do not live in Tacoma, and the van is still missing, so if you see it in Tacoma, it's either been dumped there or someone is still using it. I will re-post here when and if the van is recovered.

The van was stolen from the parking lot of the "I Love Bentos" Japanese restaurant at 1620 South Mildred Street in Tacoma. This is across the street from the Tacoma Community College.

If you do hear or see anything, please call the cops to report it, and then AFTER you've called the cops, if you could please email me at norm@salmonuniversity.com to let me know as well, that would be great.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
-Norm.
