Synopsis

The doorman gives an entry pass to a thief carrying a typewriter case filled with stones. The thief is able to swap out the stones for a typewriter, stamp his own pass and leave without getting questions at the door. When two employees try to follow the thief, the doorman stops them and questions them about the empty bottles they haven't returned. After all, vigilance is company policy!
