Who Moved Dan Tucker's Car Saturday Night? Sept. 29, 1924

Anybody Know Who Moved Mr. Tucker’s Car Saturday Night? Left on Elm Street and Found on Chestnut—Officers Chased Suspect to Bladenboro

“My car has been stolen,” said Mr. Dan Tucker early Saturday night to local officers, who got busy and tired to find the car and the thieves.

Mr. Tucker had left the car standing in front of Mr. A. Weinstein’s store and walked to Grantham Brothers drug store, staying away about 10 minutes. When he returned the car was gone. Bus drivers told the officers that two strange men had been trying to hire a car to go to Bladenboro but wouldn’t pay the price charged.

Taking that as a clue the officers and Mr. Tucker started for Bladenboro, going as far as the cotton mill village this side of the town. Not a sign of the car was found. They returned to Lumberton, and were informed that the missing car had been found in front of Mr. G.B. Kirkman’s plumbing establishment and showed no signs of having been stolen. How the car was moved, and who did the moving, Mr. Tucker would like to know.
