Burglars Raffles imitation
doesn’t fool sharp detectives
GREENWICH, Conn. (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. New
York and Connecticut met iq
Greenwich on Sept 20 to com
pare notes The FBI enterecfrthe
case since several states .were
involved
Since then. FBI agent Ronald
Mahaffey said his office in Nas
sau County. NY. has received
inquiries from police depart
ments as far north as Boston
involving burglaries police su
spect may have been inspired
by the register
Reagan goes on TV
with progress report
WASHINGTON (AP) — In the autumn of even-numbered
years, a president's fancy often turns to thoughts of national
television Pres Ronald Reagan is going on the air tonight,
with what the White House calls a non-partisan progress
report on the economic situation
The Democrats, predictably, protest that there is no such
thing as a non-partisan, nationally-televised address by a
Republican president three weeks before congressional
elections
That is exactly what Republicans said when Democrats
held the White House and roles were reversed
The opposition party always demands, and usually get,
broadcast time to respond to the president But it is not equal
time, no matter what the hour or the duration No rebuttal
commands the attention or the audience a president can
muster
Reagan's economic progress report was scheduled after
the unemployment rate hit 10 1 percent, highest since the last
days of the Great Depression
