Recently n Morning Post re- presentative raised the question of thla compulsory accessibility of cars with Scotland Yard. The regula- tion in question, the police pointed out, was drafted the Ministry of Transport, and applied only to public parking places.
Was it, then, permissible for a man to leave his ear outside his own house and lock it? Yes, the police thought It was, but, added hastily that such conduct would render the owner liable to prosecu- tion for obstruction.
Motorists' Happy Lot.
So now the motorist knows exact- ly where he stands. If he puts his car in a public parking place he runs the risk of having it "bor rowed," and thus incurring the dis- pleasure of the police. If he leaves it in the open road he can prevent it being moved, but may be sur- moned for obstruction. •
All this may be intended, in some mysterious way, to make it easier for the police to deal with the ever- growing menaco of motor-car bandits, whose increasing depreda- tions and Immunity from arrest are one of the soanduls of the day.
