"What do you have in your boot?" One of the beer-bellied policemen asked the driver once his vehicle was flagged down at the checkpoint.

"Nothing sir," came the response. "I have nothing in there."

"Open it. I want to see." The officer insisted.

"Believe me," the driver handed some crisp paper notes to the policeman. "You may have that for the weekend. I am in a hurry, sorry."

"Thanks, gentleman. All correct. You may go now"

Had the boot been opened perhaps the little girl being kidnapped and ferried away would have been rescued.
