MEDIA RELEASE For immediate release - April 22, 2001 

LOADED COALITION TRUCK STOLEN

On Sunday April 22 at 5:00 pm, the truck and camper used at all the protests staged by the Coalition For No Whales in Captivity outside the Vancouver Aquarium, was stolen.

Among other things, the truck and camper contained the Coalition’s banners, protest signs, leaflets, donation jars, bumper stickers, etc.

The vehicle is well known to police and aquarium personnel since it is used for displaying the Coalition’s anti-whale captivity banners during rallies held outside the aquarium, such as last night’s vigil for Bjossa.

We believe this was a job done by professional thieves. We are asking the public to help locate the vehicle and to keep an eye out for the Coalition’s belongings, which may have been discarded anywhere. The contents of the vehicle are uninsured and some of the items are simply irreplaceable.

The truck is a burgundy 1998 Dodge Ram 3/4 ton extended cab with a 8 1/2 foot Slumber Queen camper off-white with burgundy stripes. Two bicycles and two white folding chairs were hanging off the back of the camper.

Your help informing the public would be very much appreciated.
