Sowerbutt and his men were
regular night-time visitors to numerous fashionable homes across London. As he
always said: “We never take risks. But we don’t need to with servants’ doors
left open and windows unlatched.”
His best protection was the pampered society
set’s eagerness for acquiring valuable items, preferably at knockdown prices;
one client unlikely to tell another that he had acquired his friend’s valuable
Impressionist painting.
“Redistribution of wealth,” said Tipper on one of their
night-time forays. “As long as some of it keeps coming our way,”Sowerbutt smiled.
