Solve a Mystery Sherlock II

[kat2220]

A rich man's son was kidnapped. The ransom note told him to
bring a valuable diamond to a phone booth in the middle of a
public park. Plainclothes police officers surrounded the park,
intending to follow the criminal or his messenger. The rich man
arrived at the phone booth and followed instructions but the
police were powerless to prevent the diamond from leaving the
park and reaching the crafty villain. What did he do?

The diamond was picked up by a bird, who returned to his master, the villain.

Some really hot babe picked it up...and the police forgot why they where even there, just by watching her walk away...

NascarWoman wins!

This is a true story from Taiwan. When the rich man reached the phone booth he found a carrier pigeon in a cage. It had a message attached telling the man to put the diamond in a small bag which was around the pigeon's neck and to release the bird. When the man did this the police were powerless to follow the bird as it returned across the city to its owner.

I guess no one thought to shoot the bird...

I'll just say this.

If I were a millionairre, and someone had kidnapped my kid, and sent a carrier pigeon to get a diamond as ransom, and cops were all around amd not one of them shot the damn bird, there would be some mighty sore cops by dark.

If they had shot the bird. Then the kidnapper would know for sure they had set a trap for him. He could get angry enought to harm the kid.
