ran away. Shea and his colleague ran after him, but, of course, not caught up, And
when they returned, they realized that all their stuff was gone. As shown then the camera
observation, the “drunk” had an accomplice, who quickly took the Luggage, while
Dongpeng and his friend chased the offender.

to Brett asked the woman sitting at the
another table behind Costello. He turned to talk to her, and
when returned to the “original position”, found that the bag with the equipment 40
thousand dollars, and the jacket disappeared. As we found out later the woman had
an accomplice who, while she was distracted by a photographer, stole his things, jumped in
