MANY QUEER CASES Organized Effort to Make Example of Some “Black Sheep” is Being Made. (United Press Service) IndinnapoMs. Ind Den 6—(Snecial jto Daily Democrat)—Automobile i thieves —who are they? what are they ! like? how do they operate? An automobile was stolen today in Indiana: an average of one machine a day is stolen in tlie state. One a week, on tlie average is stolen in Indianapolis. Os fifty machines stolen, forty-nine are recovered. And nine out of every ten recovered are found damaged. Almost always the automobile thief is the black sheep of some prominent ' lamiiy. Ho is gencmlly well dressed ' kangs out at fashionable pool rooms, likes a good time witli tlie girls.is geni erully short ot ready cash, and takes ; the other fellows automobile for a joy I ride. In most cases the parents of tlie young man come forward and pay the damages to the car, keep the boy out of jail and generally keep the family s name out of the newspapers. But thefts of automobiles are geting to be so common the autliuritiet are determined to make an example ot the next tbief. The last Indiana legislature enacted a so-called "joyriders" law, specifically punishing thefts w itli a stiff fine and jail centeue.e. Automobile thieves operate largely during the night. The real crook, not tho joy rider who steals an automobile fa au expert at hiding clues to the identity of the machine. Tho numbers on the engine, liko the num-! bers of a watch are changed. The | IxMly is sometimes painted over, ami i and in many instances the entire body has been placed on tlie chassis ot anothe rstok-n machine of different make. Clubs and theaters are more and more coming to hire detective# and watchmen to stand guard over lines of automobiles to prevent thefts of machines. However, the automobile thief fa cunning. He fa generally fashionably dressed and looks as K lie might be the owner of the car he gets away with. Detectives have had many uiuburasslng experience# in! stopping real owners of automobiles who were suspected of being thieves. — 1 1 ' ■ - O-' 11 OBITUARY.
