do it. He did in the early days Of
bootlegging, before that industry was
organized scientifically. but soon found
that it was foolish to take the double
chance. AS a rule the whisky trader
owns car on a deferred payment
plan.
Classes of Automobile Thieves.
There are two main classes or
groups of automobile thieves. They
are:
A. The little bands of two. three
or four men who operate through a
garage. One or two of their number
, steal cars. The garage is the CEN
tral point for concealing the car
while it is disguised. One or two
others are statesmen.
B. The owners who want to get
their insurance on their cars and
enter into collusive agreement with
the thief to get rid of 1t. Collusion
follows usually the downward trend
in prices of any kind of car. When
the cut price of a car gets close to
the insurance figures of that same
kind of car under the precut prices
the thefts in that car begin to jump.
This is notable and traceable in all
parts of the country. This is the
hardest kind of thief to catch.
There are, of course. hundreds OF
varieties of both classes and thou
sands of little tricks. In and around
New York the bandits who fall under
Class A have an easier time operating
than in most places. This is because
of the congestion. 1t has been found
that in New York the average distance
for moving the stolen car is not more
than ten or fifteen miles. In other
places the motor is usually run con-
siderable distance.
Quick Acting Motor Thieves.
In every poolroom. all night res.
taurant. hotel corridors and other pub
lie places there may be an automobile
The New York herald., 1922-07-19

thief-gas bandit the police call him
He is we'll dressed and is a clever
quick thinking and quick acting per-
son. He is the prototype of the old
gambling house runner or poolroom
agent.
This criminal is on the outlook for
customer. If he hears of any one who
wants to buy a used car of any kind
II means that car of that kind will
be available for sale pretty soon. He
finds the market. Then he and his
confederates go after the car that will
fill the bill and get it.
Another class operating along SINH
lar lines works from the street. They
infest busy streets where many cars
are likely TO be parked. Their trick is
to watch the careless man, drive up,
leave his car unlocked for minute or
two while he runs inside on a little
errand and, presto. before he is out
of sight the car is gone The history
of these thefts is that in the great
majority of cases the car left with
motor running or unlocked is stolen
within two minutes after the owner
ieaVeS the Wneel.
Up and down the streets they prowl.
these gas bandits, with eyes keenly
alert to every chance. If they spy a
car slowing down to park they step
along and watch the owner get out.
If there is a chance they jump into 1t
and off they go. No small part of all
automobile thefts is due to the con-
tributory negligence of the owner.
And in this respect men are more
careless than women.
Having made a getaway the rest is
comparatively easy. Usually the man
who does the street stealing has a
confederate somewhere near by To
whom he turns over the car. Soon
the motor is in the garage or hiding
place of the band. There 1t is made
over as quickly as possible. The num-
ters on the motors and other parts
are stamped out and new ones are

WATCH CHEAP SALES

Police officials and automobile agen-
cies, combining forces to drive the
motor car thief out of business are
directing their energies toward destroy
ing the market for the stolen car.
Almost despairing of ever putting an
end to this form of thievery. which
has grown into a national menace to
the industry. the officials Of all gov
ernments are agreed that new methods
and new laws are required to meet the
situation.
In this series of five articles which
THE NEW YORK HERALD is publishing
dealing with the whole situation 1t
has been shown that the thefts in
this country have mounted to Gloss
The New York herald., 1922-07-19

to 500, 900, 900 year. More than ten
thousand cars were stolen last year
in this State. while more than six
thousand were lost in New York city.
This Is the third article on the sub
ject, and shows the methods of these
modern bandits.
In their hunt for the thief the police
and private detectives have discarded
the two important theories on which
they proceeded for years. These were
that there was a master mind direct
ing the whole great business of steal
ing cars-the newest form Of piracy
and second. that bootlegging was one
of the big causes for the wholesale
thefts.
Bootlegging and motor car stealing
have developed together in the last
FIVE years, and the natural conclusion
was that there was an intimate con-
nection.
But it has been proved beyond doubt
that instead of one there are hun
dreds of little master minds-hun-
dreds of little nests of thieves in every
great community, each with it's master
mind The detective agencies have
gathered a vast amount Of information
for the insurance companies and their
conviction is that there is no organized
piracy on a great scale. The little
bands are working in almost identical
ways through the whole length and
breadth of the land and the similarity
of their methods is the only connection
between them.
The bootleggers are not using stolen
cars except in rare instances. That
has been proved by establishing the
ownership of thousands of automo-
biles of bootleggers which have been
seized. In only rare instances was 1;
found that the rum runner did not
own his own car.
He can afford to. He cannot afford
to take the double risk of smuggling

Excuse. to Enect sales.

Often the salesman says he has to
leave suddenly on short notice for an
other part of the country and is COM
PEELED to sacrifice his car. Or he has
experienced financial losses and must
take what he can get. The garage
man may pass out the tip that he
knows OF a wonderful bargain and find
the buyer. Newspaper advertisements
are used frequently for Offering the
wonderful bargain. but this method is
not employed so much as formerly,
since the detective agencies have be-
gun looking up all such bargains.
The garage man engaged In these
enterprises is NOT one who has an
established station, but the fy-by
night dealer who opens a little place

appears over night. There are hum

stamped in. The car is painted. the
number plates are changed and hum
dred and one things are done TO alter
it's appearance. Then it is ready for
sale.
II the thief has a customer in mind
the sale is easy. II not the garage
manager or a confederate offers the
machine as bargain. There are as
many tricks in this end of the busi-
ness as in any industry.

petitors the police and detectives be-
sin looking into his business.
1t has been found on checking up
the records OF stolen cars that a sur
rrisingly large proportion have in
ferior locks. The substantial car with
a good lock is hardest TO get. Every
automobile owner is being urged to
see that his lock Is good and that in
every instance IL is really locked be-
fore he steps out of the machine. even
IL leaving only for a minute. One
of the wisest precautions an owner
can make, detectives urge, is for a
passenger to get out a block or two
from where the car is to be parked
and then walk slowly to the parking
place with an eye on the car.
"A car is stolen to-day In New York
and 1 will defy any one TO recognize
his own car tomorrow" District At
torney Banton said in discussion
before a Congress committee recently.
"The numbers have all been changed,
the engines have been changed. the
motors have been changed. and every
thing one can think of in the car has
been changed. 1t is a perfect business
in New York city, the manipulation or
stolen automobiles from the man who
paints to the man who screws on a
nut or bolt. and they have it down TO
such a fine science that a car can be
made over in day so no one would
know 1t.
