Wow! Some peoples children. Hey Ho Julie (her name for herself not mine) makes theft accusations against a fellow VW member Greg (but refuses to give his last name because she cares so much about starting an Internet fight). Yet a simple search of the movie cast, see below, reveals Greg's last name so everyone really knows who Julie hangs with her wild and crazy accusations. She claims Greg Triebel steals her new ladder. Julie contacts him and out of the kindness of her heart she will pay this thief to ship the ladder back to her. Julie claims Greg Tribel admits he stole her ladder but somehow can't be bothered with returning it to Hey Ho Julie even if she pays handsomely to pack and ship it. I have never seen the film and have no monetary association to the movie in any way. However, after seeing the credited cast list I personally know two prominent members. Their reputation and integrity is impeccable. It took me less than 10 seconds to find Julie's accused thief's full name. It should take me less than 10 minutes to find contact information to Greg Triebel and forward him this thread with Julie's accusations that he is a thief and other TCB members who appear to happily jump on the band wagon (no pun intended) calling for his outing. Let him (Greg) defend himself or admit guilt and make restitution. To leave this matter just floating in the air with only Hey Ho Julie's side of the story being told is not only completely unfair but quite possibly slanderous and in our justice system, perhaps criminal in some way with Julie being the guilty party here. My real name is my email address so there is no doubt to anyone reading this who I am. While I love the VW bus scene and community, sometimes a very small but loud contingent can really spoil the fun with their childish, petty public finger pointing. Of course the finger pointing safely being committed from behind their laptop miles and miles away in an undisclosed location. Hmm kinda reminds me of Dick Cheney. Hopefully Greg himself will chime in soon and put this matter to rest. Sincerely, Ken Linoski Information on Greg Triebel being the cast member Julie refers to can be found here. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1353990/ Cast Credited cast: Dave Torstenson ...

Himself See full cast » Edit Storyline Circle The Wagen is a feature-length buddy/road-trip/docu-dramedy that follows Dave, an idealistic adventurer and automotive ne'er-do-well, and his convivial co-pilot Charlie on their journey down Route 66 in a baby blue 1972 VW bus. Through mishaps and murals, gasoline baths and breakdowns the two discover a teeming underground of vintage VWdiehards willing to help save "The Croc" from the scrap heap and rally her beleaguered owner on to California.
