Finder Unthankful For Returning Lost Auto
Roy Penhall of Montana Auto and Garage says returning lost autos is a thankless job. Police found an abandoned car in Butte and gave it to the shop. Penhall later learned the car belonged to J. J. Caprice and claimed it. A second vehicle tied to Miss W was found abandoned in Butte and Penhall again took charge until the owner was located. A hunch about reward seizing prompted inquiry, but the matter was cleared up.
