Page 0, Wednesday, July 2th, 1971, WHITDY FREE PRESS WHITBY HOUSE BREAK WORK 0F HOUSE BURCLAR*SSummner Cottagers beware Che John Watson home, in the sou th-. .-z:st section of WVhi tby is, because of ý>îeIy position on an unpaved road -nadequatestreet lighting, in one c o town's most vuinerable areas. Its posi tion in fact, makes it so vulnerable that a truck was able to haul aw,-ay $ 4, 500 worth of carpet and furniture, leaving its occupants to re- i urn home to a completely denuded front room. Thieves forced entry at the front of the house, which faces Peel Street Park. Directly at the rear of the house is -an unpaved road running north and south. Theneareststreet Iamp, at the far end of the house sheds no 1 ight at the front or back doors. "Headlights from passing traffic could flot have picked up the truck, and the house is out of view to casual onl1ook er s in the homes along Peel Street", explainedMr. Watson who isa sehool teacher at Anderson Col legiate. lncluded in the theft, were a colour television, stereo, coffee table, sofa chairs, lamps, andeven the deftly re- moved front room carpet. Insurance can flot recover a good part of thel1oss. Some of the furni ture wvas three years old, and depreciat- ion wiII have to be considered by the insurance agent. The removed carpet cannot be matched as the manufacturer has since gone out of business. The samne applies to stolen drum tables. 'lit could have been worsell, said Mr. Watson, explaining that there were no damages other than the door used for the thievels entry. The VV atsons ,whowvere awaY, learned of their misfortune when a neighbourwhohad been Ieft the swim- ming pool key saw the room bereft of its belongings through a windowv and telephoned them. ln a 1 e t t er t o towin council1, Mr. Watson pointed out the relatively un- protected position of the homes along thestreetwhere he lives. He sugges- ted either the installation of a street Iamip on the end of the street, or the blocking off of the road wi th some type of- barrier so that no vehicle can get further than the pavement. He hopes now that the traffic com- mittee, who wiIl be pursuing the pro- bi1 em can resolve the unprotected street situation. Truck burgl arsl1ike those who vis- ited the Watson residence, although they have been repor ted in Brookl1 in and outlyingareas, havenot been reported in the town. Wýhitby detectives say the only sound adcv ic e t ooffer any Whitby resident leaving for vacation, is to use com- mon sense. .qqý -7grU & qY fDV'L E1S Wiil 19 GRAND PRIX 1969 BUICK LeSubre 400 2Dr Hi/T 1969 Buick LeSabre 400 2 door hard top.
