Asheville, June 12—For some time the wave of automobile accessory thieves has been increasing in Asheville, but what appears to have been the boldest and strangest case of all was reported to police Friday.
George N. Adams parked his car on Battery Park Hill for about 30 minutes. When he returned he got in and started to drive off, but the car refused to budge. On investigation he found that the rear fender of the car had been jacked up and both rear wheels stolen. Another man reported that he had been the victim of gasoline thieves three times within the week.
