(Btw, it's a bad idea to put Suika and Ivory in the same team, as this will happen. >_>)

"Yeah, it would get the police up in his tail, but he seems competent enough to not care about getting caught." Ivory pointed out. "So instead, he gives a false lead to chase, while he goes after the real prize right under our noses."

Suika pondered for a bit. "Well, personally, I propose two alternatives: I think he's just an eccentric thief with inside connections to the store." she replied. "Of course, this theory relies on the fact that he's a well-known criminal, which he may be not. Alternately, he could be a rich aristocrat with eyes for jewelry, who has done this thing before, and as such, is overly confident in his skills that he sends a warning in advance."

Ivory looked at Suika quizzically. "That's a purely speculative thought. You haven't even done any investigations of your own."

"Speculative, yes. But logically sensible. If he has no inside connections, then being a rich guy grants him access to some gimmicky tools that can let him access the store stealthily. If he has connections, then he could have an inside man, that gives him access to the store by the end of the day."

"Your theory is all over the place. It's not entirely possible that he's both." Ivory replied.

"A well-known criminal that's a rich dude? Are you hearing yourself? That gives him no reason to steal jewelries as he can just buy 'em. By separating them, he has legitimate reasons to do so." Suika retorted. "Be being a criminal, he has monetary reasons to do so. Being rich, he's doing it for the challenge."

"Those are some fairly petty reasons. If he has eyes on a particular object, then it gives him a more concrete goal to achieve to risk his neck stealing."

"Alright, what's a reasonable thing to steal inside a jewelry store besides jewelry?"

"That's what we're gonna find out." Ivory concluded, as he looked at the clerk. "Is there anything in particular that's very important in this jewelry store not in display? An artifact perhaps?"

Suika facepalmed. "This isn't a museum..."
