I just happened to read the sticker that I have on my door window and
on the rear window for the FMCA theft reward program. It says "$200
REWARD". I just checked the FMCA magazine and it now up to $2500.
My sticker must have been put on about 1981 when I bought the GMC.
At this rate we are lucky that gasoline isn't now $12.50 per gallon!
