A small market in the city became the center of attention yesterday when the owner stopped a thief with a clever trick. The thief tried to steal expensive pens from behind the counter, but the owner saw him and came up with a plan. The owner loudly said, "These pens are very special and bitter if you touch them with wet hands." This confused the thief, and he quickly backed away. He ran out without taking anything.
After the event, customers told reporters they were surprised, but happy the owner acted so fast. The owner said, "I just wanted to make it clear to everyone that we do not welcome thieves here." Local police praised the owner for keeping calm and smart. Background checks show this is not the first time someone tried to steal from this market. In the back of the shop, the owner now keeps more valuable items locked up to stop future problems.
