Why doesn't the thief run off when he's left alone?

[GepperRankins]

and why do chinese adults beat children for not being the same sex as them?

Why doesn't the thief run off when he's left alone?The theif is a girl and as we all know - girls can't run very fast and have a poor sense of direction.

Yes, that is a concern... and I thought Chinese families were restricted to 1 child per family anyway... :huh:


And why doesn't the policeman handcuff the thief to a tree or something? :huh:


Anyway.. I thought it was a good little puzzle... :happy:
