unlocked truck”. The truck was locked. In other words, we had made the effort to discourage the crime. The truck was parked directly under a security light at the rear of our home. Entrance to the truck was gained by forcing a vent open. The cowardly culprit didn’t even have the courage to close the truck door. It was left standing wide open. CB’s are a “hot” item now and the only sure way to prevent theft is to remove the unit from your vehicle when it is not in use. It is too bad we have to inconvenience ourselves to this extent in order to prevent a cowardly crime. The mike key was badly broken a week prior to the theft; so who ever you are, have fun trying to transmit. Thank you.

"We just kind of made a big sweep of the west,” said Don Wolferman. The family traveled by car to San Diego and Long Beach, Calif., and saw Knott’s Berry farm, Universal studios, and the Queen Mary. Other points visited by Don, wife Sue and son Doug, six, were Lake Tahoe and Reno, Nev. Concerning Tahoe, Wolferman said, “It’s pretty.” The trio also viewed Carlsbad caverns in Mexico.
