THEFTS OF GROCERIES.
CASES IN WELLINGTON.
Gases of theft of an original character have recently been experienced by a Wellington city grocer in a large way of business, who delivers his orders by motor-van. In a great manv cases the orders which are received in the mornings are made up and sent out in the afternoons, and are frequently left on doorsteps in the absence of" everyone from tho home. In several such cases the parcels have mysteriously disappeared, and tho only explanation is that they were stolen, evidently by some person or persona who had kept a watch on the house.
All such people had to do was to knock at the door several times to make.quite sure no one was in, and failing any response, to pick up and walk off with the parcel. A sharp look-out being kept for offenders of tho kind.
