THEFTS OF MOTOR-CARS
GREATER VIGILANCE URGED. AMENDMENT OF LEGISLATION. By Telegraph.—Press Association Wellington, June 7. A meeting of the Wellingtc Automobile Association discussed the increasing number of thefts of motor-cars throughout the Dominion, and urged that the civic authorities should either provide watchers or permit the association to employ men at parking places. It was also urged that legislation should be passed making what at present is termed “The conversion of cars” actual theft. More motor patrols are needed for, as one speaker remarked, the public are on wheels and the .police on foot, so the latter have no chance of pursuing offenders.
