EDWARD te. JONES TO WED M0RE AID FOR MRS. PIEPER
In mere than half the reported auto aute auto
meblla thefts Hip machine nrc stolen
with the consent of the owner. Init the
police nre nnnble te prove It. accord
ing te Jeseph I.e Strange, lieutenant of
detectives In charge et the automobile
squad.
Lieutenant I.e Strange was ana'yxlnx
figures given out by Superintendent
Hills shetting that from Jnnu.iry 1 te
December 22 of (hi jear the number
0 automobile leperted htelen is .'t'J.'S.
with a value of approximately of ?.". -202,381.
Police recovered 27S" nuto nute nuto
mebile.", some of which were stolen In
ether cities, with an approximate value
of ? 1,8011,181.
In explaining handicaps under which
the police nnd detevthes nre werMng,
Ueulenant T.c Strange aId the great
est difficulty wiia that presented by
owners who deliberately have their ears
stolen se they can collect insurance.
"Unless n universal rule or law Is
applied se that each automobile owner
will suffer through the theft of a car,"
said the lieutenant. "I de net knew
what Is going te become et tin- police lu
fighting the real theft of cars.
"Mere than half the reported thefts
are committed with full consent of the
enners. Despite pollen knowledge of the
fact, we nre unabie 10 preve It except
in rare catcs."
Here Lieutenant Le Strang" cited
three recent casea In which his rquad
was able te prove that automobile own
ers seeking insurance bad b'-cn In col
lusion with thieves.
"I honestly believe." the lieutenant
went en, "that If the city or (!oern (!eern
ment started te dredge the Delaware
Ulvcr the Schuylkill and the old stone
quat ry holes, they would uncover pretty
ne.irl n third of the se-called stolen
c.ir
"Xcarlv every creel: and stream up
the State has ben used by automo
bile owner ns hiding plums for their
stolen cars.
"The first thing the modern robber
think of is te ftcal machines. They
admit, when the police happen te cap
ture them, thnt they depended en the
Mieed of their stolen machines te make
tnelr escape.
"Twe men recently arretted for
highway robbery blamed their capture
en the peer make of the machine which
they had ttelcn n few minutes pre pre
Aleuslv. "All the big factory robberies anil
freight train thefts hnve been made
possible through the use of stolen tour
ing cars and autetrucks which arc used
te haul nway the stuff."
