THIEF RETURNS WATCH
GIFT FROM APPRENTICE’S MOTHER RACING STABLES’ LOSSES Among articles belonging to apprentices stolen from racing stables at Caulfield, Melbourne, was an inscribed gold watch which had been given to W. J. Kennick by his mother. This has been posted back in a matchbox with the following note: “Please return to owner. I didn’t notice the inscription inside. Sorry!” Thieves, for more than a month, have been looting apprentices’ rooms. The other victims of thieves at Mr. McCann’s stables were Arthur Abbott and Ronald Lawson, and property lost included a skull cap, riding whip, shoes and shirts, valued altogether at £6O. Some days previously the apprentices’ rooms at training stables of Mr. Sparks, Lloyd Avenue, Glenhuntly, were entered. Leslie Staff lost clothes valued at £lO and Neil Grant articles worth £4. Last month property worth £36 was stolen from a training stable in Payne Street, Caulfield.
