5. Friday Evening
It was Friday evening and shopkeepers in Grimsby came to the Midland Bank to put their money into the night safe. But later that evening the night safe disappeared and with it 4,000. Every Friday evening the shopkeepers put the money they take during the week into the night safe. They don’t want to leave it in their shops, but the bank closes early. The night safe is outside on the wall and the money they put into it goes into the bank. But on this Friday evening the people who came along the street with their bags full of money dropped them not into a night safe, but into a box that belonged to Mr Michael Bell.
Mr Bell, who makes radios and televisions, had the idea when he saw two men outside the bank one evening. When he came home from work, the two men, who were apparently shopkeepers, were putting some money into the night safe. He made the box at home and painted it. When it was ready, he took it to the bank and hung it on the wall next to the night safe.
On the front of the night safe he painted the words: «Please use the new night safe. This one is out of order». Then he went round the corner and waited for the shopkeepers to arrive. He listened while they dropped their bags of money into the box. When it was full, he quickly took it down and went home with 4,000.
Mr Bell is very clever and his idea was good, but not perfect. Now he has time to think of other ideas. He’s in prison for stealing.
