Six typewriters, some tape recording and playback equipment, and a sup­ ply of recording tapes were stolen. The loss has been estimated at a replace­ ment cost under $5,000. Information that developed during the subsequent investigation, both by Metropolitan Police Department and the Bank's Security Office, indicates that the intruders probably entered the building by vehicle after 6 P.M. on Sunday, November 18, by following an authorized parker who activated the garage door. The thieves then made their way up one of the two stairwells which lead from the garage to the upper floors. They made their entry at the third floor door where, with a heavy prybar, they forced their way into the area which houses the Languages Services Division of the Administrative Services Department.
