The case of the Missing Golden Pearl

Once there was a golden pearl. It was worth $999,999,000. So it was kept in high security safe because of it's value. Many thieves tried to steel it but none of them were successful. Until today, there was a thief that was never caught because of he was the king of thieves. He had nearly been caught when he was steeling the golden pearl.

There was a team of detectives who had been looking for the king of thieves for 21 years. There names were Liam, Michael and Sam. First they checked to see if it was the king of thieves. It was. So they set off to find him. As they walked out the door they saw foot prints leading to the forest that was the the side of the building. So they headed off to the forest. But they found it lead to 2 tracks. So they checked what the king of thieves sole of his shoe looked like. It looked like the marks on the left track. So they went to the left track.

There at the end of the track there was a secret house right in the middle of the forest. It was small but one man didn't need a big house. So they went in the house and all they found was finger prints. Michael found a map with a dot on it that was at Noosa Bushlands. So Michael told the others and they set off to Noosa Bushlands to find the king of thieves. Liam saw something moving in the bushes so they checked but it was only a koala. They set off to the deepest part of the forest and there he was, but he had a gun, so Sam sneaked behind him and tripped him and grabbed his gun and called the police. The King of Thieves had finally been caught.
