There have been complaints lately from Wellington motorists who, not having the good fortune to own a garage, park their cars for the night in private right-of-ways, of the depredation of what they describe as “the new sneak thief.” In the past car equipment—spanners, jacks, pumps, etc. —'have disappeared ■overnight from motor-cars, but gear of this kind is now left untouched —petrol is the aim of the m'otor thief. With an up-to-date siphon it is easy to pump the petrol out of a ear tank. Wise is the motorist who, leaving his car at night on a side road, transfers the petrol from his tank into a tin before leaving.—Post.
