the theft of the expensive ruby

Point of View of Thief

The world’s most expensive Ruby was housed in a renowned museum in Hyderabad. A notorious thief called Tom was planning to steal it but he couldn’t do so without a foolproof plan. While he was thinking about how the theft can be executed, one of his spies shared the news that the museum would be closed for Christmas.

They decided to make use of this opportunity to give shape to their plan. When they reached the museum, they didn’t notice the police around. However, when they realised the presence of the policemen, they ran and sat in the car. They were being chased by the police. Tom was at the driver’s seat and the car finally got stuck at a dead end. He was put behind the bars but he was smarter than what the police thought of him. Going to jail was a part of his plan and he could still send messages through a small device which was hidden in his shoe. The next day, the Ruby was found missing. The police and also some detectives tried to find any sort of evidence but failed. After a week, Tom found out that the police had captured his friend – the one he had sold the Ruby to.
