The Thief ***

Yugan stood in the middle of the living room, shell shocked and speechless. His wife Ginny was hysterical. Her new I-phone was gone. As were the new laptops and the camera Yugan had just bought. Their only valuable possessions in the world – gone.

***

The security CCTV recording was crystal clear. The thief looked relaxed and non-chalant, carrying away his new acquisitions. His face was extremely recognisable as he defiantly looked up at the camera.

***

The Police Inspector looked around Yugan’s house and made a list of the stolen items. He viewed the CCTV and took away the original recording. “Should be able to get him,” the Inspector left.

“What the heck la you, Douglas, you went and curi from these poor young kids? Can’t you choose some rich fat cat ah ?” Inspector Talib was on the phone.

Douglas giggled on the other end of the line. “Too easy to resist la boss. By the way, boss, I got some info for you la boss. This 14th, woman named Shereen. Coming on evening flight from Mexico City. Big consignment.”
Talib was all ears. This could be the big one.

Yugan & Ginny’s problem was already forgotten.
