I, Reginald Walpole-Harrington, managed to work my way into the confidence and resulting employment at the exclusive and impressive Knapwell Jewellery store. It was always a ruse, a way of examining the merits of stealing the expensive jewels therein. In fact, I've got even more lucky, but more on that later.

All you need to do is turn up with your group and I'll have done the rest! This is the one we've been waiting for - a real haul to set us up for life.
