Mystery of the Disappearing - Reappearing Jewellery

Yesterday it was reported that a couple found the jewellery they kept in Certis Cisco safe deposit box missing. Mysteriously, when they went back with the police in tow, they found that the missing jewellery has mysteriously reappeared!

Even more mysteriously for us is WHY it took the police almost one week to follow up on the case. The report was made on the day the discovery of the missing jewellery was made, almost a week ago.

Here's my conjecture of what happened. This is obviously an inside job. Somehow a copy of the client's key had been made. Some enterprising Cisco officer had decided to 'rehypothecate' the jewellery at some pawn shop. After all, the world's most respected banks and institutions have been doing just this to their client's segregated accounts, so why shouldn't he? On realising that the game was up, he quickly redeemed the items from the pawn shop and replaced them back into the safe deposit box.

Nothing 'permanently' lost, so no harm done right? Unfortunately not. Returning stolen items does not absolve one of the original crime of stealing it in the first place. If this is the case, then Kong Hee of the City Harvest Church should not have been charged with misuse of church funds.

This case can be very simply solved.
1. Interview the Cisco officer who was shouted at by the couple on discovery of the lost. Even if he is not the guilty party, he must have leaked information to the guilty party.

2. View security camera footage of which Cisco officers had been entering the safe deposit area since the discovery of the lost. This will narrow down the list of suspects.

3. Ask the suspect list for a confession. Failing which, they can get location information history from the telcos of the handphones of the suspects. Check the locations and see if any match the premises of any pawn shops.

4. Get the security camera footage from these pawn shops and check them to see if any cisco security officer or anyone related to them turns up. Game over.

Now all that remains for this case is to see if our men in blue are going to fail us (or not), the citizens of Singapore, whose trust and faith have been quite badly abused by the men in white.
