Jan Kunze wisely contacted Hemmings.com to see if the classic car enthusiasts that follow events through Hemmings Daily, the site's daily newsletter, could help her recover her truck. They have a huge following they refer to as "Hemmings Nation", and this group can be extremely helpful in getting the word out to people who can give crucial information to authorities.

Have you spotted this vehicle?  

We'd like to help Jan get her stolen pickup back. Jan reports that the pickup went missing from her own driveway on NW 38th Street. She came home from her trip after a friend noticed the truck was not parked where it should be. A vent window latch was the only thing left in that place.

• VIN J54K011397
