"Do you think he has anything to do with the car thefts?"
"Shouldn't be surprised. He seems a rather suspicious sort of character."
They sped past the dark figure, who went on, head down, hands thrust deep in his coat pockets.

CHAPTER XIV
Montrose Again
The Hardy boys were not discouraged by this failure. They realized that it was too much to hope for success in their venture at the first trial and resolved to lay their trap again.
If their parents were curious as to why they had remained out so late, they gave no sign of it, and the following night Frank and Joe again drove out along the Shore Road in their new car. This time they went to another parking place, not far from the spot where Isaac Fussy's automobile had been stolen.
Again they turned out the lights, again they crawled into the locker at the back, and again they remained in hiding, while car after car went by on the Shore Road.
