Quote

On a completely separate note, my son bought the car. The debate about price went on for a while, before my son said: “I’ll give you $2,650 for it.” The owner replied: “sorry, I can’t take less than $2,600.” I looked at my son to see what he’d say, but he was equal to the task: “okay, $2,600.” And he bought the car on the spot for $2,600. Sometimes bargaining takes an odd turn!

Mug shot of Frank McGowan, Robert McFarlane and John Dennis McFarlane, 23 May 1921, Central Police Station, Sydney.

Robert McFarlane (the middle man in this trio) is mentioned in the Police Gazette, 7 September 1921 in connection with the theft of 'three clocks, two sports coats and other articles' from the warehouse of Dobson Franks Ltd. He appears in the NSW Criminal Register (24 September 1930) as a 'thief and petty larcenist'. His MO includes visiting foundries with a horse and cart and stealing ingots of iron copper and tin.

He also 'steals laundered articles from clothes lines'. He is

described as being of 'violent disposition', 'addicted to drink' and is said to associate with 'the vagrant class'.
