This is a true story about man who chose worst possible time for his
crime. It happened in London in summer of 1972. man stole a barge on
River Thames (in case you don't know, barge is a river boat used for
carrying goods). owner of barge soon discovered that it was missing and
immediately informed police so that they could look for it. Normally river
is quite busy place, and it would be difficult to find what you were looking for. On this day,
however, there was dock strike, and so there was only barge on
river. thief was quickly found and arrested.
