SERIOUS CRIME
Appropriating Cars for Joy
Rides May Mean 10 to IS
Years in Prison

Woe unto those who are making a
practice of appropriating cars which
do not belong to them for taking joy
rides n then, after the vehicles have
served their purpose, abandon them
by the roadside. Any such thieves
who are apprehended are certain of
spending the next ten or fifteen years
of their life behind bars, for stringent
warnings have been issued by the
state department of automobiles
against all those who are borrowing
cars.
1t appears hat this custom has
rapidly spread and that in many cities
motor cars are missing and in a day
the auto usually is found in some out
of the way place where it has been
left after those who o IL had salts
fled their craving for driving. The
cars are not damaged in most in

gasoline which had beer in the tank.
Many thefts of this nature have oc-
CURED in Perth Amboy but nearly

Once q car which was borrowed
for the time being was found out in
the country near this city stripped Of
everything of any value.
Patrick ]. Burke, chief of police,
has detailed special officers to get on
the trail of the ones who are stealing
the cars here. and any arrested Will
be made an example of and be sent
up" for either ten or fifteen years.
