TITLE Finch's art theft!
text

This story is about several robberies in mansions, to obtain valuable

paintings and sell them illegally outside London. Specifically, let's talk about one of

them.

The thief is called Finch. He arrived at the mansion, jumped the wall of the

house and entered the garden once the security guard had passed with the dog

that protects the house. Finch entered the house and saw the picture he wanted to

steal, went to him and cut it, then rolled it up and put it away. When he thought he

had finished the job successfully, a monkey appeared and began to shout, the

alarms went off and Finch had to run away.

Then, he went to the airport, once there he saw the police and became

nervous, and hid the artwork in one of the golf clubs. When he got off the plane, he

went to pick up his luggage and once he had it with him, he thought: I have done a

good job, but no ... Suddenly, customs appeared and said, please follow me! They

checked all the luggage and forced him to take off his clothes, but found nothing.

Then they let him go but they will be watching him. In the end, the thief managed

to leave with his work of art without being discovered by the customs police.
