MOTOR CARS TAKEN.
UNLAWFUL CONVERSIONS AT
WELLINGTON
(BY TELEGRAPH PRESS ASSOCIATION.) WELLINGTON, Aug. 6.
In recent weeks- motor ears left at parkins places about- the city have been disapearing almost nightly, but the. light-hearted “unlawful converters’ ” activities reached a peak point on Wednesday night, when within four hours' four ears vanished from as many different places. One belonged to Dr. Luke, and was taken from outside Thorndon Hospital. This is the second car he has lost in this way within six months. The doctor’s and one other car were found next morning abandoned in the city; the third was discovered ditched on the roadside at Wainui; and the burnt ruins of the fourth were found on a country road. Some ears have been stolen lately in the city even when the magnetos were locked.
