The recent increase in car stealing has alarmed the police who are looking for what they now believe must be a well-organized gang of professional car thieves. Most of the thefts have taken place in the rich residential areas round Southwell Park, where last week alone twenty-two car thefts were reported to the local police.  Of these, only one has been found, abandoned in Rockinghill Palace Road twenty miles away. The others have still not been found except for one which had been falsely reported missing.  The owner later admitted that he had forgotten where he had parked it a few days before. An interesting aspect of the thefts is that nearly all the missing vehicles had been taken from locked garages. The owners now admit that they may have left the car doors unlocked, but only one owner is not certain whether he has locked the garage door. The police therefore assumed that the gang found it easier to break into the garages where vehicles are often left unlocked at night and into locked cars parked on the roadside in daytime or at night. They advise car owners to lock up their cars even when they are kept in locked garages.
