Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sixty-First Annual Report of the Police Commissioner for the City of Boston: For the Year Ending December 31, 1966 In recent years this department has been beset by a persistent increase in the number of auto thefts. For the year 1965 we experienced of these thefts, contrasted with back in 1960. Although about 92 percent of the vehicles are taken for joyrides and most are recovered within sevc ntv-two hours after theft, this type of crime still presents serious problems to the public and the police. Because of the magnitude of these problems, the department developed a program entitled Operation Sixteen. This program consists of license and registration checks of all motor vehicle Operators appearing to be under sixteen years of age. The prime purpose of this program was to bring about a prevention of auto thefts rather than to effect increased arrests of young persons for this offense. During its first year of implementation there were motor vehicle operators, who appeared to be under sixteen years of age, stopped for a license and registration check, and Boston consequently showed a reduction of 998 auto t'hefts for the year 1966.
