Summary  
The documents detail FBI investigations into stolen motor vehicles and license plates in Alabama and Georgia during May 1968. These records include compiled lists of stolen vehicles from NCIC (National Crime Information Center) data, with specific focus on vehicles potentially linked to individuals named "RAY" or "MURKIN." Investigations aimed to determine if these subjects had ties to thefts prior to their return to Atlanta (April 5, 1968). The Bureau instructed law enforcement agencies to conduct neighborhood checks, interview vehicle owners, and examine recovered automobiles. Stolen vehicles included details such as make, model, VIN numbers, theft dates, license plate information, and recovery locations (e.g., Mobile, Dothan, Montgomery, Alabama; Andalbria, AL). Some records referenced pre-1968 thefts but emphasized follow-up on recent activity. No direct connection to Martin Luther King Jr. or the assassination is present in the text.
