I remember hearing the extra pair of lay-a-way hip huggers an the pair changed from were in the trunk! Is that where the packages were suppose to be also? Packages and what we really wanted to keep were locked away out of sight even as far back as the 50's/60's in our area of South Ft. Worth and especially the mall. If they went shopping at Myers department store first also. Just common safty practice at Christmas time. The cars were left unlocked then with no worries. In our normal practice there. Personal experience that area.
