Thieves Stripping Cars, Taking Wood and Coal in Forest City, Jan. 8, 1925

Work for the Police

Automobile thieves have been busy in Forest City lately, devoting their attention to the petty theft of tires and parts, rather than stealing cars. A Ford car belonging to Dr. Miller was almost completely stripped a few nights ago, while others, among them Mr. W.L. Horn, have been heavy losers.

Much wood and coal has been stolen, especially on West Main street. Among others, the editor has been a heavy loser from thefts of this nature.

From the front page of the Forest City Courier, Thursday, Jan. 8, 1925.
