Auto Theft Rise Across Southwest States Sparks Alarm
David Roberts notes rising auto thefts in Texas and nearby states with a 21 percent jump in February 1963 compared to 1962. National totals show 19 400 stolen autos, 17 percent higher, and 2 000 unrecovered. Emphasis on unlocked cars and lock-your-car campaigns as deterrents. Baltimore’s lock-your-car program cut thefts by five percent in 1962.
