Someone either for the purpose of taking a ride or getting a set of tires, stole Maylon Lowder’s Chevrolet car here last night and later deserted it near Kannapolis.
Mr. Lowder reported the theft to local police officers early last night, but their investigation failed to develop any clues as to the thief. Officers in nearby towns were notified at once, however, and Kannapolis officers located the car north of that town early this morning.
Patrolman Robinson and Sloop went with Mr. Lowder to get his car in an effort to learn something of the identity of the person who drove it to Kannapolis, but they learned nothing.
All of the tires were taken from the car, either by the person who drove it from Concord or by other thieves who passed it in the night and saw an opportunity get four tires. The car was not otherwise, damaged, it was reported.
