1. ““ * * * At no time has the appellant disputed the fact that the car in question was a car alleged to have been stolen by the defendant. Further, there is nothing to indicate that the location of the serial number would be material or that by inspection and discovery of the number or the location the testimony of the agent might be impeached. Confining ourselves closely to the facts of this case, we are of the opinion that no prejudice resulted to the appellant through the motion of the trial court. United States v. McCurry, D.C.Pa.1956, 146 F.Supp. 109 , at page 111, affirmed 3 Cir., 248 F.2d 116 ; United States v. Wheeler, 7 Cir., 1955, 219 F.2d 773 , at 775, certiorari denied 349 U.S. 944 , 75 S.Ct. 872 , 99 L.Ed. 1271 .””
