The Mystery of the Diamond Earring, Part 8

Taylor screamed in terror.

"Do as I say and no one will get hurt," growled the thief.

The girls watched fearfully as the thief walked around the house putting various valuable objects into a a large brown bag. Shenice and Taylor were almost ready to run when suddenly the thief whirled.
"This way, ladies," the man smirked, shoving them into the hall closet, closing the door. He pushed a heavy object in front the door so they could not escape.

"Las Vegas here I come," said the crook, and with that the girls heard him leave out the back door.

Several minutes later they heard sirens and then Ms. Rachel's frantic voice talking to a police officer. They began to call for help. A moment later Ms. Rachel and the officer opened the door.
"Why girls, what are you doing here? I thought you went home."
"Well . . ." began Shenice . . .

Having read all the developments here, I'd say it makes good sense to have a couple of dogs around the house named, "Annie Get Your Gun Olivia and Shamgar Elijah Zigady Zag Zag"! Zigady Zag Zag can run rings around the robber while GYG Olivia can focus in on the clobber!
