MORE than $4,000 900 worth Of
SVA automobiles were stolen in this
country last year. Only a small per-
centage Of them was recovered.
T is practically impossible to pre-
vent stealing Of motor cars en-
tirely, but the fact remains that care
lessness on the part Of the owner
makes it altogether too easy for the
crooks and joyriders.
NEVER leave your machine park
: ed without protecting it in some
manner against thieves. Also, be
sure to have your extra tires locked.
Chains with locks to protect extra
tires can be procured at any Of our
