- Someone stole a thousand franc note from me, Monsieur. - Very well! I have your case in hand, Madame. The thief is one of my friends. - Then I would like to have my money back and know who took it. - Nothing easier than that. Let me have 1'500F for my trouble and tomorrow the thief will return your money and give you his card.
