Liquid Gold and Larceny

I was called upon by a desperate bakery owner who faced a peculiar predicament—his stock was vanishing daily, and no amount of effort, procedure, or vigilance could stem the tide. The most baffling loss? Twenty 25-litre containers of sunflower oil would disappear every single day.

My client was at his wit’s end. As part of his quest for solutions, he arranged a meeting with another bakery owner, a man managing a whopping 1,200 employees. Surely, this seasoned professional could offer wisdom to help stem the losses. I tagged along, intrigued by the mystery and eager to listen.

The experienced bakery owner explained his airtight system: a meticulous paper trail that followed every ingredient, from delivery to sale. Impressive as it sounded, it still didn’t solve my client’s problem. Despite implementing similar measures, the sunflower oil continued to vanish.

That’s when I stepped in.

Armed with the tools of Feng Shui and the ability to read the heavens, I measured the building and calculated the exact position, date, and time the theft would be exposed. I told him, “On this specific day, at this precise location, you will catch the thief.”

The fateful day arrived. As he walked out of the factory that evening, the owner caught a glimpse of something unusual—two glinting eyes and a gleaming set of teeth in the darkness. Intrigued, he moved closer. Despite his factory windows being sealed shut with welded steel grids, the mystery began to unravel.

One of his workers inside the factory had devised a cunning method. He was pouring the sunflower oil directly down the drain. Outside, an accomplice had rigged a collection system, eagerly siphoning the golden liquid as it flowed out. It was a heist so audacious it bordered on absurd.

But that night, their scheme unravelled. Thanks to Feng Shui, the owner caught the thieves red-handed. The method of theft was shut down, and order was restored to his bakery.

This story serves as a reminder that while human ingenuity can sometimes be misused, the heavens record everything. Through Feng Shui, time and place reveal the truth—sometimes with a little flair and the right set of coordinates.

Because, as I always say, the stars don’t lie, and neither do two eyes and a grin in the dark. 🌟
