LOSS Of HIS OWN CAR
WORRIES DETECTIVE
Siber Thought Thieves Getting
Merry" Until He Learned
1t Was Mistake

The police are sadly aware of the fact
that motorcar thieves are daring and
resourceful, but city detective believed
the climax Of audacity was reached this
morning.
The detectives own automobile. a
i've passenger car, left outside the
Sixty first and Thompson streets sta :
ton, disappeared while the sleuth was
inside attending the hearings.
And before going in he had even re
moved the gear shifts to balk thieves.
Siber, the detective, with his partner,
McCready, drove to the station house
this morning, and went into the roll
room. About an hour later he went for
his car and it was gone.
Siber called for several patrolmen
and led hasty search through the
neighborhood. But the car was not
found.
Siber could hardly talk for indigna-
tion when he returned to the station
house. Then Lieutenant Boston cleared
up the mystery. When the district com
mander went out TO breakfast he saw
the machine. 1t was still there when
he returned, and the lieutenant con
cluded it was stolen car, and ordered
it removed to the patrol house. He
said he did not recognize the car as
Siber's because it had been newly en-
ameled

"Niy first business was to find the

seemed Usually most of the baggage
from the wharf is taken away by the
