gone l saw a man tampering with
another car" said Mr.. Wood. Il
approached him. He ran down the
alley. 1 followed him for a block,
but he got away from me. They
must have been professionals. No
amateur or Joy rider would be able
to drive my car away when it is
looked. And if it had been joy
rider we would have found the car
by this time"
