Want Laws no Iproteet Autos

Atlanta,-lt was reported in the so
licitor's office at the court house that
plans are on foot to present certain
recommendation of the grand jury
concerning more drastic laws against
automobile thieves to the next legisla-
ture, II was the opinion of the grand
jury that since the thefts of autos
continue to increase to an alarming
extent, that the penalty is not severe
enough. 1t was recommended that the
penalty for this offense be made TWEEN
ty years. II has formerly been five
years. 1t is also recommended that
it be made unlawful for any persons
to buy, sell or receive automobiles or
motor vehicles of any sort on which
the engine numbers have been oblit-
Grated or the license tag missing;
that all secondhand dealers in auto
mobiles and all wrecking companies
of automobiles, and that all people
who rent garages or garage space shall
be made to report the name, number
and a complete description of their
cars to the sheriff of the county. In
TINS way it is thought that it will be
made more difficult for thieves to gain
possession of autos, and that it will
be easier to trace stolen cars. The
recent case of the auto thieves who
stole car and hid it in a garage in
residence district, and later assault
ed an officer when discovered by him,
was cited as an illustration of the
growing menace of this offense.
