This is noticed by another woman customer who reports it to a shop worker. Frank deliberately collides with Mrs Stuart and knocks her bag to the floor spilling out the tin, thus avoiding a possible prosecution. Mrs Stuart invites Frank to her home where he notices an old silver box on her mantlepiece.
