The mysterious theft

This story is about a poor boy who saw a truck in front of a jewelry. The truck was parked at the entrance of the store. It was midnight and all shops were closed. The boy saw the jewelry was opened but saw no one coming out, so he thought the store was been robbed. He called the police and when he turned around, the car had gone. The next morning, the police was already looking at the shop for fingerprints and missing objects. A very expensive diamond was the only missing object and the police supposed the thieves knew what they were looking for. The diamond had arrived a few days ago at the jewelry. The police interrogated an employee, the owner, the man who cleaned up the jewels. They made a hole list of the workers and they asked about customers who were interested in that diamond. One seller said that he had shown the diamond to many customers. All of them were old arrogant smug people who liked to show off their wealth.

As regards personal information about the workers, one of them had just got married and was starting a new life. The owner  had arrived from a holiday week in his familiar field. The maintenance guy had been working for two years at the jewelry.

When the police started the investigation they found out that the cleaner had been accused of theft so he became the first suspect. He denied the accusation. But everyone pointed at him and said he knew everything about jewels, and about the movements at the jewelry. He was the first to arrive in order to clean the jewels and of course he had the keys. But he could forced the front door on purpose. The man defended himself by saying he did not have a car so it had been impossible he had taken a bus with such a treasure. Although there was a suspicious car in front of the jewelry the night of the theft.

The detective was convinced it had been an inside job and he spoke to the first employee. He asked him about his wife and accused them of steeling the diamond. They needed it to start their new life as husband and wife. The detective told the employee he had given the idea of the robbery to his wife because he couldn't afford their new life and the diamond would make his wife very happy.

Finally, this man confessed. He had the idea but when they arrived at the jewelry, he realized he couldn't do it. His wife insisted and she went inside to steal the diamond. In that moment, he panicked and escaped in his car leaving her.

The diamond and the woman are still missing nowadays.
