Tokens And Money Stolen Then Replaced With Milk
WELLINGTON, Last Night (PA).— The art of the milk-token thieving has apparently taken a turn for the better. Some person stole milk-tokens and money from the bottles of a number of residents in Northland early this morning, but left full bottles of milk in the boxes as compensation.
A full crate of milk was taken from a pile left on a street corner in Northland by the roundsman and at several houses in the district the tokens were taken from the empty bottles, the bottles thrown away and full ones put in their place. The roundsman was naturally puzzled when calling on houses he knew he had not been near and full bottles in their boxes. When he returned to the pile of crates he had left on the corner he found that the thieves had kindly returned the empty crate. "But that,” said a milk department official, "is nothing to what some of them do.”
