Mr. and Mrs. Barker were having a quiet day at home. Their 17-year-old daughter was away in Scotland staying with a friend. At 12 noon, Mr. and Mrs. Barker had a phone call from the friend where their daughter was staying. They said that the girl had disappeared. The parents were going to call the police when the phone rang again. A hoarse voice informed Mr. Barker that their daughter had been kidnapped and unless he paid a ransom of 1000 dollars he would never see his daughter alive again. The voice gave him instructions about where and when to hand over the money. The voice warned Mr. Barker not to tell the police or to attempt to have the phone traced. Mr. Barker went to the bank and immediately withdrew the money out of his bank account and left on the next train to Brighton. When he arrived, he entered the Grand Hotel at five to six and carefully placed the briefcase beside a sofa as arranged. At six o’clock precisely, a woman in a scarf and raincoat approached, took the briefcase and walked away quickly.
At 10 p.m. the same evening, to his great relief, his daughter returned home. She could hardly refrain from laughing. Imagine Mr. Barker’s surprise when she handed him his briefcase containing the 1000 dollars. It turned out that she and her friend had decided to play a practical joke. The parents did not appreciate the joke as much as their daughter did.
