Car thefts -hushed up crime ?

My brother Michael is RIPTA bus driver, more than 10 years

    with the company. A married man with three young-and beautiful-

    daughters to support, he needs that good job and also two cars,

    one for his wife, Debbie.

          For a family man those cars are quite simply a necessity of

    life. A car thief is  more often than not a mortal threat to

    hard working people's family. Does the bum have any idea how

    much misery he causes ?

           Michael's car was stolen  near the RIPTA garage on

    Elmwood Avenue in Providence by area delinquents -no doubt -

    a couple of weeks ago. When he finally recovered it, it was

    only good for junk. They even stole the baby chair !

        This morning he told me about all the problems  the loss

    of Debbie's car has caused. Having just moved to  West Cranston,

    they have had enough stress for the past month.

          It seems that car thefts are not even reported anymore

    in the paper's Police Log. The police  almost never find the

    culprits. If your car is stolen, it is just TOUGH LUCK !

               We can easily understand why they use to hang

    horse thieves !
