Where did all the Peacekeepers go?

The United States Air Force used the Cadillac Gage Ranger armored car (Known in USAF service as the Peacekeeper, hence the title.) from the early 80s to the late 90s. They had a fleet of them over here in the UK, being used to guard their bases untill being phased out and replaced by the HMMWV in the late 80s. Question is, where did they all go? I know a lot went to the Balkans in the 90s with IFOR, some might've gone back to the US, and I'm sure plenty were sold off through the DRMO at Molesworth and cut up for scrap, but I'm wondering if anyone knows about any that are still around?

I'm with a group that portrays USAF Security Police units from the same era, and know a number of other people with ex-USAF vehicles, so if there's one in private hands it'd be nice to connect with the owner.

I have seen a singular picture of one rotting on a paintball field in the 00s at an undisclosed location, and knowing paintball sites, it's probably still there. But I have no idea where 'there' is, and the author didn't tell. If there's one rotting away somewhere like that, then I'd potentially be interested in buying one, but it would need to be an exceptionally good deal.

Cheers.
