Or - the wealthy man carried the diamond out of the park, past the police, to the kidnapper?

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!

A trained squirrel grabbed the diamond and ran out of the park in the trees?
Trained pigeon?

That is SOOOO ridiculous! Everyone knows that pigeons can't hold a diamond! Only the squirrel could. Therefore, the squirrel must have been working alone!

You got it. When the wealthy man reached the phone booth he found a carrier pigeon in a cage. It had a message attached telling the man to put the diamond in a small bag which was around the pigeon's neck and to release the bird.

It's supposed to be a true story that happened in Taiwan, but I haven't verified it.

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!
