an extremely disturbing story. but alas not the first time this has happened, An Iltis jeep was stolen from storage here in Canada not long ago.
My own fear is that a collector would not do this as a collector knows the community is small and people know people, and know parts etc...also the vast vast majority of collectors recognize the historical value and appreciate each others efforts... my fear is the scrap yards and this would be the first place to look. Sadly breakers are not a reputable bunch, and recognize instantly that something is obviously stolen. many many cases of theives stealing bronze and brass plaques off cenotaphs in Canada... these end up at the breakers, 100% obviously stolen, but no breaker ever calls the cops. A partial answer i suppose, if stuff is stored elsewhere is to advise the property owner to NEVER let the items off the property without direct personal contact from you...no notes, no verbal assurances from strangers.. only direct personal contact...and very sturdy locks and chains.

someone on another forum mentioned they saw this advert on Kijiji. ( few months ago)..so a second hand posting and so I dont know if the original owner is even involved in any kind of collector group...might simply be an offroader.. original advert posted below...
"Someone stole my Iltis, out of the Keswick (New Brunswick) area, a few weeks ago. There are a few of these around, mine had damage to the front bumper, hood, and quarter panel. It was most likely taken for spare parts. It wasnt running at the time, so it would have been towed on a trailer or flatbed. If you have any information, please let me know, I'd like it back. Thanks." Licence plate in images reads: GMT 012" ***Note: there have been Iltis offerred for sale but without proper papers. ALL Iltis were released with proper paperwork. Personally even if buying major components I would like to see the ID papers to prove provenance.. . There should be no honest and/or legal reason why an iltis would not have its proper papers OR have papers indicating it is a type of vehicle other than a Bombardier Iltis
