The Funny Thief

A woman was going to the shopping centre and she was wearing all her expensive bracelets, necklaces, rings and a pair of earrings. While she was doing shopping a thief saw her and warned her gently. He said:
‘Madam, excuse me. You are wearing all your jewellery. A bad man can see this and try to steal them.Please put them into your bag.’
The woman asked:
‘You’re right but who are you?’
He said:
‘I’m a policeman.’
The woman did what he told and put all her jewellery in her bag.
While she was going to her car, the same man wanted to help her and took the bag but the woman didn’t notice it.When the woman turned back home, she saw that she didn’t have her bag. She looked for it everywhere but she couldn’t find. While she was cooking after two days the man phoned her and said:
‘Madam, I’m too sorry. I stole your bag and now I want to give it back to you in the same shopping centre.’ The woman was very happy and she went to the shopping centre quickly. She waited for a long time but nobody came. When she turned back home sadly she saw a note at the door.

‘Thanks for your help. I visited your house an hour ago and took the other jewellery. I opened the door with the key in your bag.’
