4 Sun-Democrat, April 6, 1954 Herbert And His Lost Car 'Break' Turns Into Nightmare For Chicagoan CHICAGO, April 5 -Two policemen did a friendly thing for Herbert Livermore the night of February 26. With such friends, Livermore doesn't need an enemy. The officers spotted Livermore, 35, driving with his lights off. They stopped him and considered running him in after they learned he had been drinking. Instead, they gave him a break.

NO ENEMY NEEDED The officers parked Livermore's car, gave him the keys, wrote the location of the car on the back of his driver's license and put him on a bus for home. He got there, but the driver's license was lost along the way. Since then, Livermore said today, his life has been a hectic one. He has been searching for the spot where the car was parked ever since February 26, with no luck. 'LOST CAR NOT PAID 'FOR Last Saturday he was forced to make the second payment of $53.90 on the car he hasn't seen for more than a month and may never see again.

The police won't search for it as a stolen car. How, they ask, can he prove it was stolen? His insurance company won't pay a claim. How, they ask, can he prove it was ever moved after the friendly policemen parked it? WIFE HURT IN. HUNT His wife had been spending her lunch hours riding in taxis to search for the car. On March 25 the taxi she was riding in was struck by another car and she was injured.

She is now unable to work. An advertisement in the personal columns of a Chicago newspaper has produced nothing but a dozen calls from persons who parked 'a car-but not Livermore's.
