To catch a thief

Well we caught one yesterday. No I did not personally catch him but I was a part of the interrogation team. We had just about opened our text book and were readying ourselves for a long drawn session when there was a knock at the door. It was from two blokes staying on the second floor of my friends house where I had been for the study session. They seemed quite worried. One of them said they had apprehended a thief and wanted our help.

So off we went climbing the stairs and the thoughts running through me at that moment was , hey I have always heard of thieves but never been able to put a face to one. So today I thought was the day when a thief would have a real face. He turned out to be a sorry figure sitting on the balcony with one of his arms twisted behind his back and tears streaming down his face. Quickly around 7-8 of them were surrounding the fella and then the interrogation started. He was asked why he was there and reply was , "Sorry sir I was drunk and didn't have a clue as to what I was doing". I suggested to call the local police and the fella let out a heart wrenching wail. Then we wanted to know the life history of the fella. He said he was studied in MES college but later made it as drop out after the first year. Age 18 years and was married!!!!! Staying with in laws as parents had thrown him out of the house. His dad was supposed to be a mobile salesman but didn't have a mobile of his own. We asked him for a reference or a phone number but he said he couldn't remember any. He did have a phone book which we searched through and he said it contained the office phone number of his wife. She works in VLCC koramangala and we called her. He was pleading that we not tell any of his (mis)adventures to her. A call to her confirmed that there really existed a guy by the name we had caught and it was her husband. We told her that we were from the RTO and had rounded up this chap on the road and he did not have the necessary papers.

After the interrogation which lasted almost an hour and a half we were confused as to what to do with him and after much deliberation we decided to let him go scot free after some stern warning. The chap whose mobile was being stolen by this fella was the one who decided to pardon him.

Once the fella was gone we came down and dug ourselves into that big fat MO textbook of ours cos it's mid term tomorrow.
