Henry Smith taught science at the City School. Once he went to a bookstore (书店) and bought some books. All of them were expensive ones. He left them in his ear in a quiet street. Then he went and bought some other books at other shops. At six o’ clock he came (来出现) back to his car. One window was open and the books were gone! Henry drove back to his home in Lake Street.
That night he wrote a letter to a newspaper (报纸). The next day he went to the police.
On Friday people read an advertisement (广告) in the news- paper.

Henry stayed at home on Saturday. His first visitor came at eight. Henry took him to the kitchen. At half past nine another man arrived. He had a bag under his arm.
"Mr. Smith9." the man said.
"That’s right," Henry said. "Can I help you"
"I have some good books. You buy books, don’ t you"
"Yes. Bring them in. I’ 11 have a look at them. "
Soon the books were on the table. "Crone in now," Henry called out, "and bring the list."
A policeman (警察) came into the dining-room. He read the titles on the books and then those on the list in his hand. They were the same.
"Come with me, sir," the policeman said to the man.
Where did Henry put the books he bought
