Billy had a nice shop in the main street of a small town. He sold jewellery, watches, clocks and so on.
All went well some years, and then a thief stole a lot of jewellery from his shop twice in one month at night.
Three weeks passed, yet the police still didn't catch the thief. So Billy decided to try to do something about
it himself. He bought a good camera and fixed it up in his shop and put some cheap jewellery in front of it
for the thief, so that it could take a photo of anyone who stole the jewellery.
A few nights later the thief came, but he did not touch any of the cheap jewellery that Billy had put out
for him. He took the camera, which was worth 1500 dollars.
