Believed to be Operating Now IN
Washington.
The position Detective Robert Roardman
fills on Inspector Hoilinbergers staff is n
unique one. Heis in charge of the bicycle
duties are many.
The thefts OF wheels became SO numerous
and battling that Chief of Police Moore de-
termined to assign shrewd, sagacious de-
tective to this work and Mr.. Boardman
Was selected for the place. nm
It's his duty to keep a record of all stolen
wheels reported to the police; their de-
scription, number and make; to recover
the property when possible and bring the
thieves to justice. In addition to this he
sends cards and circulars descriptive of
stolen wheels to bicycle dealers and re-
pairers in this city and the, surrounding
country.
A number of machines, have been re-
covered recently through Mr.. Boardman's
efforts, and today the rear of the detective
office reSembleda a secondhand bicycle shop.
One of the wheels which are, at headquar-
tiers awaiting owners is a puzzler. 1t has
been so transformed by the thief that it is
doubtful whether the owner COULD recognize
1t. This bicycle is now nondescript, made
up of the parts of two other wheels of diff
ferent manufacture, all three, no doubt,
being stolen property. Although an expert
in cycling matters, Detective BOardman
confesses he cannot tell the name or make
of the recovered BICYCLE All that remains
by which il may be identifiedis the number,
90 0,196. The plate containing the name of
the manufacturer was removed by the thief
and other means adopted to thwart idcnti-
fcation.
Another bicycle discovered yesterday is
daubed all over, even to the tires, with thick
white paint, which has completely con-
cealed its original COLOR
1t Is believed that the.e is an organized
gang of bicycle theicyes operating in this
city. which may account for the number of
stolen wheels recovered which have been
transformed or disguised By removing parts
OF their mechanism aud replacing them
with parts Of other machines.
