Trade Secret

The owner was shocked to see her sweet-shop. 

What was all the mess?

Who had broken into her shop?

Her locker had been stolen! 

No, it did not have any cash.

It had something more valuable- 

I C U

In this smart technology age, who does not want a Smart Home? 

Can we have a home where we know what exactly is going on inside or outside or else what had happened a couple of hours or days earlier?

Smart Camera can help in this regard. 
With smart camera, one can say "I C U" i.e. "I See You" and one may avoid getting admitted in the ICU i.e. Intensive Care Unit.

Let me illustrate with the examples of the following three real cases:

Case-1- The Case of the Missing Gas-Cylinder
We had an extra gas-cylinder that was kept in the ground-floor of our home.
One fine day, we realized that it had disappeared.
This was a clear case of theft.
Who had stolen it? 
There was not even one eye-witness who could share any whodunit detail...

Case-2- The Case of the Missing Mobile Phone
An employee of the office next door arrived about half an hour before the office reopened.
He kept his brand new mobile phone on his desk and went to wash his face.
When he returned, his mobile was no longer there.
This was a clear case of theft.
Who had stolen it? 
There was not even one eye-witness who could share any whodunit detail...

Case-3- The Case of the Gold Chain Snatching
I was watering the plants on the patch I have adopted outside our home.
I felt a hand near my neck.
I turned back to find a stranger already had my gold chain in his hand.
He had a sharp weapon with which he attacked me and slashed my arm.
The cut was from top till my wrist. (The marks still remain).

He then ran to a bike nearby, in which his accomplice was waiting, and they sped off.
This was a clear case of theft.
Who had stolen it? 
Except me, there was not even one eye-witness who could share any whodunit detail...

The Painting

Little did they know when the photographer took their picture that they would find themselves trapped in a painting.

Photo Prompt; Permission from- Barbara W. Beacham

They had just completed their work and were hurrying when the stranger appeared out of nowhere, armed with a huge camera and started clicking their pics that too without their permission!

None of the gentlemen loved being photographed and wanted to bash up the photographer.

Secure Your Mobile Phone- Note the IMEI

The other day, I read a report in the newspaper that stated startling facts and statistics about mobile-phones being stolen. There are organized rackets in the cities, with smart thieves working overtime to pocket our objects of affection.

Yes, I can call my mobile phone just that- object of affection!

We all love our phones.
