Amateur safe cracker drives off with 1936 Ford in Garden City

A would be safe cracker failed to steal from the Allen and DeLoach automobile agency in Garden City Kansas. He entered through a showroom door using a torch from the repair shop but caused only smoke as the acetylene work did not cut the oxygen tank. The theft occurred between 11 p.m. and 5:38 a.m. and left a damaged but largely intact scene near Highway 40.
