THIEF STEALS AN AEROPLANE.
POLICE ORDERED TO SEARCH THE AIR.
Remarkable evidence of the advanced state of aviation is furnished by the news from Munich that the first aeroplane has already been stolen.
When the aviator, Herr Belat, arrived at his shed on the aerodrome of Puchhem, near Munich, one morning last month, to take a flight on bis monoplane, he found, to his dismay, that the machine had literally flown. It was impossible that the aeroplane should have been removed from the grounds in any way than by air, and the thief must have been a skilled pilot. Persons residing in the neighbourhood of the aerodrome slate that they heard the buzzing sound of an aeroplane about 2 o’clock in the morning. The police have been advised of the theft, and a number of men have been deputed to gaze aloft for signs of the flying thief.
