Florida Boy, 14, Travels By Stealing Six Cars
A new method of travelling has
been disclosed by Cpl. Pritchard
Smith of the State Highway Patrol,
who reported the arrest of a 14
year-old boy who madd his way
north from Hialeah. Fla., by steal
ing si* cars?driving each of them
until they ran out of gas and then
making off with another.
Cpl. Smith said the youth told
him after his arrest about two
miles west of here yesterday he
started his trip from Hialeah, his
home town, Monday, after taking
a 1952 Ford panel truck.
The boy said that before he was
finally arrested after a chase by
Smith and State Highway Patrol
man L. A. Turner he took five
more autos en route, leaving one
when it was out of gas and taking
another to continue his trip.
The boy was weaaing a topcoat
said to have been stolen and had
a toy pistol in an inside pocket,
Smith added.
Smith said he and Turner met
the boy about 6 to 8 miles west of
here driving a 1953 Dodge the
youth admitted taking in Marble.
The chase ended, Smith report
ed, when the fleeing auto failed to
make a curve about two miles west
of here on US 19. He said the youth
escaped injury and was jailed here i
on a charge of auto theft. He said
the boy was being held for federal
officers because of the inter-state
aspect.
The itinerary the youth describ
ed to the officers. Smith said, went
like this:
The boy drove the panel truck
from Hialeah to Dothan. Ala.,
"transferred" to a 1949 Dodge, and
continued to Atlanta, Ga.
In Atlanta, he took a late-model
Plymouth and drove to Dahlonega,
Ga., where he switched to a 1933
Ford.
He pulled off the road about two
miles west of Murphy, planning to1
get a little sleep. When he tried
to start off again, he discovered he
was stuck.
So he took a 1950 Buick and
drove to Marble, where he trans
ferred to the Dodge.
Taking the cars was pretty sim
ple, the boy explained: The owners
had left the keys in the ignition
switches.
Smith said the boy told him he
was on his way to Pennsylvania
where relatives lived.
About 65 per cent of the families
in the United States own automo
biles.
