In 1897 Radcliff (aka Raddy) & Elbert (aka Kevin) Phelps (of Oxlip, MN) became the first Americans convicted of grand theft auto. Raddy and Kevin spied Mr. B. G. Velhelm starting his new Stanley Steamer Motor Carriage, pushed him aside and tried to drive away. Unfortunately, Raddy did not know where to feed the charcoal briquettes. An argument ensued between the two brothers, the motor carriage stalled and that allowed time for their arrest!
