(AP) - Burglars in this city of wooded estates and sailing yachts ap pear to be going by the book, thumbing through the pages of the Social Register to find a rich mark. Police in Greenwich, where you can buy a Rolls-Royce or a Ferrari off the showroom floor, say two detectives going over routine crime statistics noticed a pattern in a series of home burglaries In most of the cases, tele phone and burglar alarm wires to the house had been cut Then they noted that most of the houses belonged to families listed in the elite Social Regis ter, a guide to America's most prominent families About 400 of the 50,000 names in the register have ad dresses in Greenwich, located in Fairfield County, one of the wealthiest areas in the country “You can't tell people not to be in the Social Register, no more than you can tell people not to put their names on mail boxes,” said Greenwich detec tive Frank Branca “This hap pened because these people used the Social Register rather than the telephone book, alth ough I understand it is a very, very detailed book," Branca described the burg lars as “very sophisticated, not your run-of-the-mill neighbor hood burglar." In August, Branca and fellow detectives James Hirsch alerted federal and East Coast police agencies to the possible link between unsolved burglaries and the Social Register About 25 law enforcement of ficials from Massachusetts.
