For 10 years A1 H. Ningerter, policeman in charge of the lr*st and stolen articles at the University police station, has been warning students against leaving articles in unlocked cars. Again, this semester. Officer Ningerter finds it necessary to inform new students, as well as the old ones, that books, clothing, and other articles must not be left in unlocked cars.
In a special plea. Officer Ningerter said, “I am sure that students would not leave a ten or twenty dollar bill on their car seats. Yet, they leave books and other articles there that may be converted into that amount.” He went on to say that students should lock their cars at all times. He stated. “It takes but a minute to lock a car, and just as long to break into one if it is not locked.”
At the suggesUon of the police officer, a special investigation was • made of the cars parked on 36th
street last Wednesday afternoon about 4 o'clock. Only cars that were left unlocked were checked and the report follows:
Car license number 5P2693—liat, sweater, books—estimated value $18; car license number 8S304—brief case —estimated value $12; car license 8M704—overcoat, overnight bag — estimated value—$25; car license number 9N7182—clothing, books — estimated value $28; car license number 1P9252—brief case valued at $18; car license number 4B4480 —books—estimated value $23; car license number 3T6922—books estimated value $25; car license number 4N18—books — estimated value $20; car license number 7E40—tuxedo—valued at $5G—and so on.
'It is easy to see from this investigation that the students on campus are careless and that caution needs to be used on their part, not on the part of the police department" stated Officar Nineerter.
