PETTY THEFTS
ANNOY EAST
END RESIDENTS

A number of east end residents
have reported petty thefts from
their homes, cars and garages.
The thefts, which have been going
on Systematically, are believed
perpetrated by a gang of boys.
Garage and car pilfering ap-
pears to be the greatest nuisance
at this time. Because of the
petty nature of the thieving, in
volving articles of small value, the
thefts have not been reported
through police channels.
Victims, fearing that the wave
may grow stronger, are urging
their neighbors to keep track of
any attempted entry of car or
garage and report it to the po-
lice, so that a systematic watch
may be set up for the intruders.

please address plainly and COM

number, street, name of city,

to write your return address on
Christmas card envelopes. Au-
