Van stolen 35 years ago in U.S. recovered

Customs agents found the 1965 van on Oct. 19 when they opened a shipping container at the Los Angeles/Long Beach seaport, The Spokesman-Review newspaper reported.

They ran the vehicle identification number and discovered it was listed as stolen.

Law officers said the van, which is in great shape, was stolen from an upholstery shop in Spokane on July 12, 1974 - while Spokane was hosting the 1974 World's Fair.

Authorities have not been able to find the original owner, whom they would not identify.
