STRANGE RECOVERY OF STOLEN MOTOR
NO SIGN OF THIEVES (From Our Oxen Correspondent.') WANGANUI, Thursday. Car-thieving- still prevails. One owned by Mr. H. Otto, was taken from a garage in Wanganui and found under ususual circumstances at Westmere. As Mr. R. Farley, a farmer, was standing up in his stirrups the other evening looking across a paddock he observed a car travelling in snake fashion down the highway, apparently out of control. Eventually it capsized at a sharp turn near the Westmere Church. Mr. Farley galloped in haste to the scene of the accident, but to his great surprise found nobody about. From the time the car capsized to the time he arrived on the scene he had hardly taken his eyes off the vehicle. There was no place in the immediate vicinity where a person could hide and he could only assume that when he saw it the car was minus a driver or passengers. He did not see anyone moving away from the car either. Investigations subsequently proved that the car belonged to Mr. Otto and had been stolen from a garage and discarded when it had served its purpose.
