to the police station # 3. A young female police officer met him at the duty room and

said, that his photo camera was missing since yesterday evening. He also added, that

the film in this photo camera. The station commander of the police station was not
available. He was attending a meeting in the Main Headquarters and the visitor had to
wait for 30 minutes, sitting in the waiting room. While he was waiting for the Station
