Those classes were taught by Mr. J. C. Robinson, assisted by Miss Flora Cornell. (To be continued in next week’s issue of the Nugget). Tape decks are burglar targets “Stereo tape decks and tapes left exposed to view in vehicles are target items for the auto burglar,” warns Grass Valley Police Chief Vince Seck. The police chief notes that these units are usually easily removed from cars. Tape deck serial numbers are not usually recorded by the owner, and the unit not otherwise marked for identification. Usually taken with very little effort, the tape decks are readily fenced, or sold “under the counter.” They are a quick source of revenue as are tapes. “It’s a wise vehicle owner who ~ mounts his tape player in the glove compartment out of sight, and keeps his tapes under the seat or otherwise hidden from view,” states Seck. “Anything a person does to secure and secrete his tape deck helps thwart the would-be thief. This and locking your car when you leave it,” says Seck, “means a better chance of still having it when you return to your vehicle.” County's THE 1974 baby for western Nevada born at 4:50 a.m. on Jan. 2.
