One day John’s dad was taking John to the museum, dad told John, “This is gold, son. They were shipped here from hundreds of years ago.” “Wow, can I touch it? It looks so shiny.” Gasped John. “Sorry, can’t. This a museum John, ok now its late, let’s go home. They went home then ate their dinner. John asked if he could go to the museum tomorrow again. “Yes, sure. But only in the morning.” Dad replied. Then John went to sleep.
The next day John and his dad went to the museum nice and early so they can stay longer. They tried to open the door, but it was locked. They thought that area was still closed accidentally so they asked the guard to open the door. He looked confused but still agreed. When they opened the door to the gold their mouth fell open. “The gold, was g...gone.” shouted John. The glass case was smashed into millions of pieces like a jigsaw puzzle. They immediately called all the guards and dialed the phone number to the police. “
The police asked all the other guards to come, then questioned John’s dad and John, “About when did you opened the door to this room?” “I think 9:00am.” Dad replied nervously. Suddenly John noticed that there was a hammer on the floor, “Umm, sir, there is a hammer on the floor. So, if the thief used this hammer to smash the glass case would there be fingerprints?” Jack asked as if he is a detective. “Good question, but if the thief was clever enough. Then the thief would have worn gloves. But back to the case when did this museum open?” Said the police seriously. Bane the guard answered surely, “6:00am sharp. And this morning about 7:00am I finished checking, everything was ok.” “So, the theft happened between it 7:00am to 9:00am then.” The police said. “Yes, I think so. We check here every hour.” Answered another guard. “Who has a key to the room? Asked the police. “Me, and my boss.” Said Bane.
John went back home and thought, “How is it possible that someone took it and no one noticed when the guards every hour?” “Unless, unless one of the guards took it.” He gulped. Then in the afternoon, Jenai, Luke and Jane went to John’s house to play, he told his friends what had happened this morning. Jenai suggested, “Maybe thief has a key, the guy opens the door and takes the gold and locks the door.” “That’s a good point.” John replied after thinking for a while.
“Oh I know, and then when it is about 8:30, one of the guards go in the room steels the gold and run outside and lock the door.” Said Luke. “Umm, but we don’t have any proof.” “Oh yes I got it, today I noticed the glass window was broken and Bane had a broken hand.” John said. “Now we call the police.” Answered Jane. The next day the thief was caught and the museum was safe again.
