This Day in History: 1961-08-27
Robert Jones of Franklin Lakes discovered where not to park his car in Mahwah overnight–in front of Robert Hulton’s junk yard on Fairmont Avenue. When he returned in the morning he found his battery, radiator, radio, instrument gauges, two side view mirrors, and two fender skirts had been stripped from the car. Police valued the missing parts at $80. (Bristow)
