Funny how a completely ordinary and incredibly useful vehicle ends up with such a skewed image in the US.
In Europe, a Ford Transit is just what the local plumber or electrician drives. It's a no-nonsense work tool. In America, thanks to what I assume is decades of media tropes, the same van is portrayed as the getaway car in a heist or the “creepy unmarked van” parents warn their kids about.
It’s as if a hammer were seen as suspicious because it could be used in a crime.
