When John Crowley. a clerk in the
Forestvillc post office. stepped out
of his home at the corner of Stat.
ford avenue and Manross road short
ly before IL o'clock last night to
move his car from in front of his
house to the garage in the rear, he
found that his coach had apparently
turned into a roadster. At any rate
his car was missing and in its place
the smaller car stood. The police
department was notified Of the eX-
change and the information was
passed along to the authorities in
neighboring cities. AT $3.50 o'clock
this morning word was received
from the New Britain police that

doned and that the runabout be-
longed to New Britain party.
Crowley went to New Britain this
morning and recovered lis property
and the runabout was returned by
the local police to its rightful owner
