"Development in what?" asked Joe.
"In the car thefts."
"We haven't heard anything," Frank said. "Have they found the thieves?"
Mr. Hardy shook his head.
"No such luck. The thieves are still very much at large."
"You don't mean to say another car was stolen?" exclaimed Joe.
"Not only one. Two cars."
"Two more?"
Their father nodded.
"Two brand new autos, a Franklin and a Studebaker, were stolen last night," he told them. "Right in the city."
