The man hole

All the scrap silver stolen

Everybody has a hobby of gathering something. My grandfather liked gathering scrap silver. Whenever he could buy something on the market for a very low price, he bought it and then he put it in his special suitcase, in which he kept his whole scrap silver. That was a really weird thing to do, because most of those things, that grandfather bought from some suspicious characters on the market could have been stolen from somebody. I was worried, that someday grandfather would get in trouble because of buying this scrap silver, but he claimed, that nothing bad would happen. But one day grandfather got, how he called it, his just deserts. While grandfather was out of town for some medical check up at the hospital, somebody broke into his house. This somebody must have known, what he was looking for, because nothing at the house was turned over, only one thing was missing. And that thing was grandfather"s suitcase with all his scrap silver in it. Grandfather war really angry, because he had gathered that for a few years and now it was all gone. He called the police and told about the theft, but the police said, that there was very little they could do, since grandfather could not name all those silver pieces, that he kept in that suitcase.
