STOLEN CARS STRIPPED
AND ALL PARTS SOLO
Sink Without Trace, Is Thieves
New Way; Cars scrapped
and All Parts Are Being
Utilized Now

Merely stealing cars and stripping
them OF their accessories to abandon
the hulk later on. no longer satisfies
the motor car thief The new deyel-
opment Of the business is to scrap the
car so that the parts may be sold
separately. This method, Of course
makes detection more difficult be
cause. aside from the engine and the
factory chassis register, the average
owner is not possessed Of identitico-
ton numbers for the thousand and
one parts that go to make up motor
car Disposing Of the separate rieces
ir various places makes it an easy
rob for the thief to get away with the
results OF his crime with the smallest
chances of being caught At tn" same
time the ear owner is pretty sure not
to get his machine back again
"Spurlos yersenkt" is the apt desig
nation for this sort of thieyery given
by the local dealers Tho thieves
were caught before they had had a
Glance to dispose of the dissembled
ear. Junked without trace would
be good translation Of Herr Lux
bLrg's famous phrase
It is only by the conniyance Of nonC
TOO particular garage repair and junE
men that a thief selling parts can eX-
poet to get away with the goods TC
protect ear owners. the co-operaJ,ol
o. men in these lines is necessary
But most Of ALL IL is up ia the ca
owner to see that he has some sor
o' device on his ear that prevents
il or any of thG attachments iron
being easily removed. There is a fin
market for theft prevention device
among the thousands OF ear users
Every new theft makes the marke
better.
