Officer, officer, I leave something important to report. I have just had my money stolen.
Before you begin, why not take a seat and calm down a little? Don't be too excited. It won't help us catch the thief.
Yes, you are completely right. Where should I start?
At the beginning, when did it take place?
About 10 minutes ago.
And where exactly was this?
It was probably on the moving stair coming up from the underground at Xi'an. I think somebody had been following me from the time I left the bank.
The bank?
Well, you see. I went to a bank to exchange some travelers checks for money. So I can buy my airline tickets back home.
Yes, yes. How much did you exchange?
About $4500 worth.
And how much was stolen?
All of it.
I see.
