670 - PLATE

The eLevATor took Steve up to the hotEl's top floor. He was dressed in a nondescript hoody and had his T-shirt pulled up to cover much of his face. He worked his way down floor by floor looking at the objet d'art on display there. On the 15th floor he spotted a delightful-looking inlaid bowl that he decided to steal and which would just suit his breakfast bar. He walked by nonchalantly taking hold of it. Unfortunately for Steve the item was anchored to the table and, moreover, was attached to an alarm system. Steve was in trouble, and he knew it. Running down 15 flights of stairs left him breathless. After laying low for a bit he made his way to a charity shop and bought a boring-looking plate for £2 that would have to do instead.
