For Thieves Last Year.
Average $12,435D Day

Chicago Tribune-O Omaha Bee Leased Wire.
Chicago, Jan. 2.-Thieves' loot in
the Chicago district for the year 1920,
based on burglaries, holdups, and
pocket pickings alone, reached the
staggering aggregate of $4,52S,453.40
an average daily property loss of
more than $12,435. ,
Embezzlements and forgeries, run
ming into the hundreds of thousands,
are not included in these figures as
compiled by Chicago's police depart
ment. Police records show that of
this vast loss, only little more
than one-fourth, or $l,403,o34, in
property and cash, was recovered.
This means that more than $3,000,000
was the net loss.
This compares with a record of
S, ,543, ,594 in property and cash stolen
during 1919. with police recoveries
of $4,000. During that year there
were 1888 robbery complaints turn
ed in to the police department.
