Much ado about nothing

A thief snatched a necklace of a young woman and fled with an accomplice on a motorcycle but to the amazement of onlookers, the lass did not appear shocked or upset.

Their insistence that she lodge a complaint with the Police too was shrugged off by the woman which puzzled them more.

“Don't worry. It is not a real gold necklace, just an imitation - worth only Rs20. I bought it from a hawker the other day,” she told her stunned audience.
