1t has been realized for some time
that there must be some well or
ganized method OF disposing of stolen
tires, radiators, motors. spOtlights and
other easily moved accessories.
Thefts themselves seem to have been
the result of organized effort. No one
is ever seen removing a spare tire,
but in each large city the nightly
hauls must require large trucks to
take care of them.
OF late tire thefts have been con
fined largely to the finer grades OF
tires and to entirely new castings.
Bootleggers are very discriminating
They know that their safety often de-
ponds upon flight and safety in auto
mobile fight is dependent largely up
on deDendable tires.
