CAR STOLEN.
A local resident, Mr N. Ash, who on Saturday attended a Rugby football match at Feilding, had the misfortune to have his car removed from its parking place. Up to the present nothing has been heard or seen of the car. The matter is in the hands of the police. In conversation with a “Standard reporter this morning, Senior-Sergeant Whitehouse, of the local police staff, pointed out some of the difficulties that confront the Force in connection with guarding privately owned motor vehicles. The senior-sergeant stated that so many persons are able to drive a car that it is a very difficult and delicate position for the Force to he m, when the occasion arises to approach a person in charge of a car, who might, in the eyes of the Law, be under suspicion in regard to unlawfully removing motor cars. “If we were to approach such people wholesale,” concluded the senior-sergeant, “there are some people whom we would mortally offend. It is a difficult position.”
