They surrounded the park, but were too far away to see the phone booth. The kidnapper was already in the park and they did not recognise him as he left the park with the diamond in his pocket!

Inventiveness runs in families. Josephine Garis Cochrane, the grand-daughter of inventor John Fitch (extra points if you can identify what he invented) patented in 1886 the "Garis-Cochrane Machine." What was this machine? And why was she driven to invent it?

She invented the dishwasher because she was tired of her servants chipping her china while washing it, but that she didn't want to wash it herself!
