...jobs from police cars, returned at night to steal while lookouts monitored the police radio for alarm calls. Once the burglaries were discovered, the same policemen came back officially to investigate, were able to destroy any leftover evidence. In one case, an insurance company investigator discovered a pair of policeman's trousers near a burglary scene. Two city detectives confiscated the evidence ; the pants disappeared forever...

A short time ago, Theater Owner Daniel Talbot came downtown from his apartment for lunch at the Algonquin Hotel. The hotel refused to let him park his bike in the lobby, a policeman told him to get it off the sidewalk, a garage attendant would not let him park in his lot even if he paid regular prices. He moved...
