Before the squad cars charged up to the scene, however, one of the demolition workers got behind the wheel of the Ford, started it easily, and hid it in the partially wrecked building. When the police arrived, they found nothing but a bunch of singularly unhelpful workers. The cops sped away in search of the stickup...
Something for the Wife. Now some of the workers started to investigate the wagon at their leisure. Finding it stuffed with attractive trinkets, they began to fill their pockets. Some hid the loot in the rubble. Others, who had watched their comrades cache the goodies, stole into the rubble, removed what hidden jewels they could find, and carried them home.

The North Koreans blasted the Jeep from the road with a shower of grenades. Pfc Charles Dessart...
Three months ago, an Austrian youth hid his East Berlin fiancee in the small luggage space behind the seats of an Austin Healey Sprite. Then he ducked his head and gunned the midget sports car (35½ in. high) underneath the last Communist barrier at Checkpoint Charlie with two inches to spare. Few believed that it could be done again, since presumably the Reds would now be suspicious of sports cars. Nevertheless, last week another enamored suitor with the same strategy in mind rented the same Sprite from the same West Berlin agency. Then Norbert Konrad, 26, an Argentine citizen...
