Synopsis

Plot

You have served your six months' sentence for burglary and now you hope to benefit from what you have learned.

Old Jones was a good mate to you. Mind you, Jonesy doesn't realise how much information was given away whilst asleep. Sleep talking is a fairly common occurrence I suppose.

The sly old devil. Pulled off a bank robbery three years ago and saw that the money was never recovered. A grand and a half stashed away where nobody would find it. Nobody except you, that is. Poor old Jones was arrested in the village of Lower Ashley SANS LOOT. The robbery had been from one of the banks in Greater Mudchester, ten miles south. Lying between the two, of course, is Wychwood. Good old Jonesy. Wychwood.

From what you have heard while the old codger was giving it zeds the money is stashed away in the vicinity of Wychwood Manor. It could still take some finding, of course, but you know how old Jonesy thinks, don't you?

When you get to Wychwood, your instinct should help you. Six months isn't long enough to dull your senses. This car was easy enough to nick, huh? Don't care much for the colour but that is the least of your concerns. Can't be much further now.

Ah, there's the turning for Wychwood. I'll park the car here. The road is quite off the beaten track and anyway nobody should be snooping around at this time of morning. Not even seven yet. Right, here goes....
