"JOY RIDERS ditch an auto for horse and buggy” was a May 5, 1915 headline in the Ogden Standard-Examiner.
An automobile belonging to David O. McKay, 38, an Apostle in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, was reported stolen in Ogden the day prior.
The auto was found in Layton, near the train depot.
It was believed that the same thieves who stole Elder McKay’s car and took a joy ride, abandoned it in Layton. The thieves then stole a horse and buggy belonging to a night watchman at the depot, so they could return to Ogden.
