places on the car and all cross-in-
dexed with the serial number on the
frame, which Is the key to the entire
system. The numbering Is SO ar
ranged that it is only necessary to
find one or two of the original num-
bers to get a complete history of the
car. Several of the numbers are
very hard to locate unless one Is
informed as to where they may be
found, and one In particular Is
placed so that thief would have to
take the car apart to find 1t.
While it is true that automobile
numbers cannot be altered without
leaving some evidence of tampering
to the eye of the expert. any more
than United States currency can be
perfectly counterfeited. still 1t Is
possible to make changes enough to
fool the average person. For this
reason the Buick system of identif
cation not only complexities matters
for auto thieves by complicating the
numbering system, but also offers q
widespread and effective net in
which to catch the thief who steals
Buick and to recover the stolen
car.
No matter where in the United
States a Buicl; is stolen, word is
Immediately flashed to the factory
at Flint, from whence 1t Is relayed
back to every branch and distributor
ina the country. These in turn re-
broadcast the bulletin to all the
dealers and authorized service sta
tions in their territory. In a very
short time every member of the
Buick organization is on the lookout
for the car.
The thief stands little chance of
driving into a Buick service station
with his loot and driving out again
undetected, for every employee there
is looking for the car which he
drives.
In most cases a thief is reported
to the branch or distributor in whose
territory it occurs at the same time
that word is flashed to the factory, in

sible in getting the word to the

neighborhood In which the stolen car
is likely to be found.
This system of reporting stolen
cars, in conjunction with Bucks al
most infallible numbering system,
has recovered many cars for the
owners. But 1t must be remembered
that no numbering system Is abb
solutely unalterable. For this reason
Mr., c. B. Crawford, who is in charge
Of the stolen car department In the
Buick factory, makes few SUCCESS
tons which owners should observe.
I'm the first place." Crawford
says. Never leave your car even for
minute without locking the gear
shift and the doors, and any other
locks you may have on your car.
Return to the place where you park
ed few minutes after leaving. as
the auto thief always starts to work
as soon as your back Is turned.
But all the locks In the world
won't save your car from a clever
band of crooks who haze plenty Of
time and proper equipment. There
fore 1t is a wise move to have. your
own private means of identifying
your car. in order to make its re-
covery more certain.
ut is a good idea to be as original
as possible in this identification.
Remember, you are matching your
wits with men who will make every
effort to prevent the car being
identified, and they will surely dis
cover any obvious marking.
Il know of one man who wrote
his name and address on a slip of
paper and placed it inside the ball
at the top of his gear shift lever.
Another pasted a similar slip UNDER
meath his dashboard, so that it would
be necessary to put your head under
the dash and use a light to find It.
However, any such stunt that Is
used once is likely to be less effect

figure out something entirely original.

Be Original To
Prevent Car Theft

1t is always best to use all the
safeguards built into your automo-
bile to prevent it's theft. but in the
event some clever crook does steal
it, there is satisfaction in the knowl-
edge that it will be very hard to
disguise the car enough to prevent
its identification as your property.
Insurance companies have endorsed
the Buick system of identifying cars
as one of the best used >by any
manufacturer. This system consists
of eight numbers. located at various
