Police ask residents to be on the lookout
From Page 1 sure of himself. He has come back for three consecutive weekends to the same general vicinity, looking for the same merchandise. "Very few burglars if any will ever come back for two, much less three weekends in a row," said Koronkiewicz. The most recent store to be burglarized was McCrory's at 65 Miracle Mile. About 50 to 60 Hummels, valued at more than $3,000, were taken on Nov. 19. The only other things missing were large suitcases, reportedly used to transport the figurines. On Nov. 15, the Gift and Wedding Shop, 210 Miracle Mile was hit and only the better or more exclusive Hummels were taken. This time the burglars also took about $2,500 cash, rare coins, and other assorted jewelry items. Elliott's stationery store on Ponce de Leon Boulevard has been burglarized twice, the first time on Sept. 27 and the second, Nov. 7. A total of about $12,000 in Hummels were taken from the store. The first store to be hit was the Gables Mailman on Valencia, and about $2,000 worth of selective Hummels were taken. "At one of the stores they knew exactly where the Hummels were stored," said Det. McEnany. "They took them out of the box and put them in crates. They have also used suitcases and briefcases to transport them," he added. "The problem is that we can't afford to put a man at every place throughout the Gables that carries Hummels," said McEnany. "We just don't have the manpower." "In every case, except one, the break into the stores were really hidden," the detective said., "There is no way an officer could have seen them from the street."

After 50 years, we're right back where we started.
The Coconut Grove Bank is proud to announce that after 5 decades of solid, substantial growth under the same management, we're finally taking a step backward. Coconut Grove Bank now has a new office at the corner of Main Highway and Grand Avenue. Which brings up an interesting point. Main Highway was the site of the original Coconut Grove Bank building back in 1926. Of course, we've come a long way since then. In terms of resources. In terms of service. We now have the latest equipment. And 24 hour Jill. A super international department. And the most modern banking facilities. But in many respects, we've never changed. We've remained independent instead of becoming part of a huge banking chain. And we still provide the kind of neighborhood atmosphere and neighborly service that we did way back in 1926. Only now we provide it at two places. The Coconut Grove Bank building on South Bayshore Drive and our new office at the corner of Main Highway and Grand Avenue. Right back where we started, 50 years ago. Coconut Grove Bank 50 years old and as young as the Grove. Main office at South Bayshore Drive & SW 27 Avenue. And the new office at comer of Main Highway and Grand Avenue. 858-6666. Member FDIC.
