sentence Of three % fonr years in the state penitentiary for steal
a ing bicycle worth $50 may seem severe at first glance. But when
the number Of bicycle thefts IN Albuquerque during recent months
Is recalled the sentence win be regarded as a healthy way of direct
ing attention 10 the fact that stealing a bicycle is as much theft as
IS the stealing Of an automobile or The robbing Of a till.
Bicycle theft had reached a stage in Albuquerque when it had
become necessary 10 lock every bicycle left out Of It's owners sight

recover fragments Of their disfaembered or mutlated wheels. These
stealnigs reached q stage that Indicated some form Of organized ro5-
berry and barter in stolen goods
A few more convictions for bicycle stealing, followed by stiff
sentences, win discourage the bicycle stealing industry. Nothing
else win have much effect.
