I knew of a fellow student who swiped our junior high's copy of the October 1976 Motor Trend! *PIC*

In Response To: Growing up in Oztralia in the 1960's, Popular Mechanics copies in the school library was where we got all our latest info re what each US car brand was doing, if we were sneaky we'd remove those pages from the PM & take them home, add them to Car Craft,Hot Rod & SS&DI mags. *NM* ()

He thought that if he ripped the cover off and threw away, he'd be "in the clear" regarding if the issue was stolen from the library, as he believed that the ONLY thing tying the magazine to the library...was the address label on the cover! (I didn't talk to him about it. I'm just conjecturing here...) He tore it off, and tossed it out the school bus window.

Hmmm. I would've just peeled the subscriber label off..

I worked in my high school library during most of my freshman year (last minute notice that I couldn't take Spanish class, and I didn't have any other ideas then for an elective). Libraries tended to stamp the library name in ink, on various pages throughout their magazines.

Hmm...an earlier recollection of the incident 'says' it was actually the January '77 issue (with the Mercury Cougar on the cover. The school was in Hawaii where my dad was stationed. We left in December '76) he took, I couldn't easily find a postable image of that issue. LOL

For those who are interested, my 1973 Buick Century was painted 1973 GM code 42. Buick called it Jade Green. My camera didn't pick up the true color very well. Here is a pic that shows the true, actual color. .......... *PIC* .....
