Mr. Johnson left the car with the gears locked. To-day the car was found near Cashmere Hills. The gears had been relocked, and tools and patching useful for a motor-cyclist were missing from the tool box. A quantity of petrol had been drained from the tank. Another car which was stolen recently was found with six gallons of petrol drained from the tank.
