 A curious stunt was practiced on the owners of automobiles parked along Main street on Monday evening. Some thief or maniac, or probably just half-witted crank, toured the street making at the same time a col lection of keys from the machines on the way. Several of the cars had to be lowed into the garage while few were left in door yards and others were able to secure duplicate keys. It is thought by the authorities that the object of the theft was to secure sufficient number of keys to assure the owner getting away with a simi- lar locked car with a minimum of effort.
