HELP! Some asshole stole my work van, with all of my tools in it! It was stolen Saturday night, 08/09/2025, from its parking spot right next to my garage.

I am a small, one-man, independent contractor that is always honest, fair, and reasonable.

The van was not insured for theft, nor were my tools.

Replacing the van and the tools I lost is just too much of an unexpected expense for me at this time. I do have some money in my business account, but this expense (already close to a $16,000 loss) will most likely put me out of business.

Please, I am asking for any amount you can spare to help me get back on my feet again. Right now, with no work transportation, and little to no tools, I am pretty much out of commission and can’t work.

Thank you for taking the time to read this, and thank you in advance for any comments and donations that you may have.

UPDATE: My van has not been found, and I am almost certain the tools are gone as well. I have filed a police report, posted it on social media sites, and have done just about everything I can think of. Still, no one has seen it and it hasn't turned up. Please keep looking and keep this post alive. I appreciate all of your help.
