Stolen Car Saga and Police Notification Mixup
Whittier U Aircraft worker Beary Wenda reported his car stolen during Labor Day in San Bernardino. three days later it was found, but not before a San Bernardino storage bill arrived for the missing auto. San Bernardino sheriff and Whittier police trade blame over failure to notify Wanda. Wenda disputes the situation and seeks restitution. In Mesa, two Los Angeles teens admitted stealing cars tied to the Dragnet show, while a gas price prank sparked a local price war hoax. A Santa Monia rider fined for siren use, a diaper stash heist, rock and roll criminal debate, and other brief items fill a cross‑section of police and public notices.
