In two instances bn-al police re covered stoleti cars before they were notified nf the thefts. The police Mate that the recoveries have been largely due to co-oper-ntton of citizens with them, most nf the cases finding citizens tele phoning to the puliee about some a pparent ly aba mhoied ear near their place. Recently a telephone call came from Ra ker to the po lice, advidng them that an auto mobile had be n stolen t here. Within t minutes a li Crander telephoned to the puliee uf a car nbaiidoncd near his place and the puliee found it was the 1 taker ma chine. This is typical of many of the rases. One car. stolen In I'emlleton. was found here ami the police, having hud no advise from the Rouud-l-p Clly, called I'endleloti and notified the of i leers, w ho in turn got In Pinch with the owner of the ear to Inform him that his machine, w hich he had not reported stob n, had been found In l.a (irande.
