Iron- ically, it was the only door in the building which was locked. At SICO office, damage was -partirularly high. Doors and other locked compartments were forced open and the company safe was battered, but not broken into. The com- pany’s problem of gaining eniry the next day created more than a little dsfficulty, as it did at Garber Oil com- pany, where tear gas foiled an attempt to break open the safe. Where the series started is problematical. However, it is theorized that the Garber try may have been the last attempt on the list. Employees at the Garber offive who were expostd to some of the gas feel that af- ter a dose of the irritating stuff it probably would have been a good thing to get some fresh air and go home to bed. Largest amounts of cash were taken at the John Crid- er service station and at the W. I. Beahm junior high school. Slightly more than $30 was taken at both places.
