Theft

A comic thriller. John Mills is successful, determined and wealthy. When he returns from an evening out with wife Barbara and best friends Trevor and Jenny, he finds his house has been burgled. He is furious, particularly as the burglar may still be in the house. When the local copper appears from nowhere, John assumes they have found their bumbling burglar, Spriggs. But as Spriggs starts to expertly manipulate, cajole and corrupt them, we begin to wonder just how clever he is. With a hidden safe, childhood rivalries, guilty secrets and everything to lose, five very different people play an escalating and hilarious game of cat and mouse.
