It was on a Sunday afternoon that I saw the lorry standing in front of the post office.I had seen it long before my brother;Ben saw it,but it was he who said to me " don't you think it's odd that the post office should be open this afternoon? What do you think it's happening? ", I tapped his shoulder and told him calmly "Come out of sight,let's hide at this corner and watch".

Ben was younger than I,so I kept him behind me,and peering round the corner told him what I saw. 'there are four men coming out, carrying a very heavy iron box','Oh ' I exclaimed. "it's a safe,I think they are burglars,"said Ben, who was full of suspicion."One of them has fallen over"I said. "The safe is too heavy for them, you go fetch the police and I will stay here and watch" said my brother."No you go and get them", I replied, because I wanted to see what was going to happen.

Ben ran off and then suddenly,a man came running out of the post office, shouting"Hurry ! Hurry!, Get it on the lorry!". He immediately joined the first four and they managed to get the safe up on to the back of the lorry.

When they had done this,the man who had shouted, got into the driver's seat,but the lorry would not start. Just then Ben came back with three policemen.
The men were all arrested and my brother and I were ready to go and give evidence before the magistrate.
You should have seen the face of the leader, It was contorted with rage 😡😡😭😭 when he learned that the safe they had managed to steal was empty,and all the money was in the bank.
