Question

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.

How did the kidnaper get away with the valuable diamond?

Nope give it little while longer and i'll post a spoiler, Well Change the phonebooth to bin and don't we have something very similar to that speed movie towards the end after the bus blows up. think from the crooks point of view knowing that he'd never be able to get near with all the police around

He tells the rich guy to deposit in the phone cable, and they pull the cable from outside? seems improbable, but worth a shot ...

Yeah ! Right . But my solution is also very much possible . Because the kidnapper need not come near the rendezvous point .

If it is a sort of a tunnel in which water is circulating back and forth by some mechanism or the tunnel is slanting it may as well reach the kidnapper's place . And to throw the police off the scent , he could have chosen a place nearby the rendezvous point. :P

Theres a bird actually a pigeon in a cage in the booth, the person places diamonds in bag and ties it around the pigeon and releases it into the air. The pigeon flys home to the robber :D

Random, ransom, roaming pigeon, dick dasterbly (if that's his name could not stop the Pigeon)

Apparently this is a true story in Taiwan - what have you got to loose, a diamond you never had?
