The museum sent Mr. Chan, a member of the museum staff, to collect the teapot. On the plane back to Hong Kong, he noticed two men. They were watching him closely.

The two thieves shouted at the top of their voice with red faces." How dare you cheat us? We saw you give your daughter a box at the airport. Come with us! We're going to search your home", one of them said.
When the thieves entered Mr. Chans flat, it was dark and quiet. All of a sudden, the door closed and the lights went on. The police were waiting inside.
