Rise in thefts of CB radios Twenty four citizen band radios, averaging $150 to $250 apiece in value, were reported stolen from parked vehicles in Annapolis between Jan. 1 and of such thefts being compiled by a city police detective. An average of three or four of the radios are being pilfered each night adds a spokesman for the An-ie Arundel County police. Both city and county police authorities say that the chances of the radios ever being recovered are slim Based on Det. Gary Simpson's findings, Capt.

James Colbert said recently that "there appears to be no particular pattern to the thef's, nor can we pinpoint any specific time of day when the thefts are most likely to occur," "It seems that the perpetrators are uking them whenever and wherever they i ill i "They're being taken from everybody and no particular area of the city seems particularly hardest hit." Part of the problem appears to stem from the long antennas on vehicles required for the operation of the CB radios. "The antenna makes the vehicle stand out like a sore thumb," Chief Bernard J. Kalnoske had said earlier. Because of the "extreme vulnerability and the extreme demand" for the radios, Chief Kalnoske advised owners to be especially on-guard for the would be thief. "Just to lock the car is not enough," said Capt.

Colbert. "The thieves will open car windows and car doors." A favorite tactic of the thieves has been to force open a vent window and thereby gain access to the vehicle and radio. Capt. Colbert suggested that owners of CB radios mount their sets on brackets so that whenever they leave their cars they can either lock them in the trunk or take them in the house with them. Those persons able to afford should have audible sounding burglar alarms installed in their vehicles as added protection against theft.

Few of the stolen radios which are most often ''peddled in street corner Kalnoske said, are ever recovered because of the "lack of identifying data," such as model and serial Capt. Colbert further suggested that owners emboss their CB radios with IB easily traceable driver'! license numoer 10 laciiitiie identification oft recovery. Asked what police were doing to combat the rising numoer of CB radio thefts, Capt. Colbert said, "We have plans in operation that I do not care to discuss at this time." "We're not going to let the opposition know our game plan," he added. Grosvenor new C.O.
