That Hard-to- Start Car Was Somebody Else's Lawrence Miller, 1801 Sunnydale avenue, San Francisco, wondered yesterday why he couldn't get his friend's borrowed car started after shopping at Sears' department store here. The ignition key fitted exactly, but would not turn. MHler then went back into Sears and purchased a can of oil to grease the lock.

This still did not work, so he hailed a mechanic on an auto repair motorcycle passing by and managed to purchase a new lock and a jump-wire to get the ignition started. When he got home to his friend's house in East Palo Alto he discovered the real reason for the trouble. He had taken (he wrong car. While he was attempting to drive back to Sears, a worried employe, Mrs. Mary Blomquist, 333 Midvale avenue, San Mateo, was calling San Mateo police and reporting that her car had been stolen.

A police check revealed that the two cars were identical in make, color and even a similar broken door handle on the same door. Open Friday Nights, 7:00 to 9:00. Charge Account!
