In response to the police officer’s confirmation, Old Lady Wilson nodded and gritted her teeth, “Yes, it’s two hundred!”
The constable thought his ears were out of joint at this point.
“An Lady who lives in one of Thompson First’s finest villas would call the police for two hundred dollars? Something’s wrong…”
Thinking back, he surmised, “Could it be that rich people talk like this, saying two million into two hundred? Last time at the class reunion, that rich kid in class was the same way when he talked about that luxury car of his, it was obviously a Rolls Royce with over five million dollars, and when he talked about how much it was, he downplayed it by saying over five hundred, is this the common disease of the rich?”
But when he thought about it, he was a bit puzzled, “By all means, this Lady is worth over a hundred million, so even if she lost two million, she wouldn’t be so excited.”
So he looked at the Lady again and said, “Hello Lady, let me confirm with you again, you said that your daughter-in-law, that is, this Hannah stole two hundred from you, this two hundred, refers to two million, right?”
“No.” Lady Wilson said, “It’s two hundred, cash, two hundred!”
“Huh?!” Several police officers’ jaws could not help but drop to the ground.
The one in the lead said awkwardly, “Lady, your eldest daughter-in-law took two hundred dollars from you and you’re going to call the police to arrest her?”
Lady Wilson’s eyebrows stood up and questioned, “What? No? She stole my hard-earned money, and I can’t call the police?”
The lead police officer said awkwardly, “It can be, but I have to tell you a basic legal common sense, according to our country’s law’s definition of theft, the sentencing condition for theft is that the amount of money involved must at least meet the standard of a large amount.”
Saying that, he explained, “This threshold of a larger amount is between one thousand dollars and over three thousand dollars, and there is no way to pursue criminal responsibility if you cannot reach this standard.”
Lady Wilson frowned, “What the hell! She’s stealing my hard-earned money! Do you know I worked hard all day yesterday to earn a hundred dollars! I got slapped in the face and someone else paid me another $100! And this two hundred dollars is the money for our family to eat dumplings on New Year’s Eve!”
The police officer was dumbfounded, thinking, “This Lady is not joking with us, right? You live in such a big house and call the police for $200? And this $200 is $100 from a part-time job and $100 from a beating? No ordinary person is poor enough for this, let alone her living in such a large luxury villa. It’s too magical!”
However, he could only patiently explain, “No way ah Lady, this is expressly stipulated by the law, if the other party just stole two hundred of your dollars, we really can’t file a case, we can only register it for you first, if later on she reaches the standard of filing a case because of other things, we can try to help you recover the loss.”
Lady Wilson hurriedly said, “Then I remembered wrongly! She didn’t steal two hundred dollars from me, she stole two thousand!”
The police officer said awkwardly, “How much money she stole from you, the specific is to see the case solved, even if you now say that it is two thousand, we have filed a case, people also caught, and
finally found that you are lying, the other party simply can not reach the standard of filing, then you are legally responsible for your lies.”
Said the police officer and reminded her: “And, Lady I want to explain to you again, even if it reaches two thousand dollars, it’s only control, not detention, do you understand the meaning of control? No detention of the other party, just a certain degree of restriction of personal freedom, regular community corrections, and then you’ll probably be required not to leave Aurous Hill or the street where your villa is located, and then you’ll pretty much be through.”
“What?!” Lady Wilson said off the cuff, “You’re too lenient in your management, aren’t you! It’s theft!”
The police officer sighed helplessly: “Let’s say Lady, theft is indeed a crime, but whether to pursue a degree, if the student to report that the same table stole his eraser, worth a dollar, we also go to arrest someone? It’s not appropriate.”
