Thieves Don't Just Steal Car, They Ruin It, Aug. 28, 1921

Auto Thieves Turn Vandals; Slash Car

Motorcycle Officers McGraw and Blackman discovered a Ford automobile in a patch of woods near the Monroe Road Saturday night. The four tires had been slashed with a knife and were damaged beyond repair. The police were investigating last night in an effort to locate the owner of the car which is believed to have been stolen.

Officers considered the action of the thieves a “mean trick.” Not satisfied with the theft of the car, when they had finished their supposed “joy ride,” they drove it into the woods, hammered on the body and slashed the tires with a knife to such an extent that not one of the four can be repaired.
