Last week, cleaner Peter Blain was sent to prison for six years after being found guilty of
stealing. Blain is no ordinary criminal, however, and at first, police were confused about the
case. 1.__________. This may not sound like a crime, but they were not his cars, it was not
his job and he was not paid to clean them.

and many of them had a price of more than 40,000 each. Blain was able to steal the cars
using a technique that he perfected over time. 2. __________ He then chose a car and asked
to test-drive it. He drove away from the showroom and didnt come back. 3. ___________
Blain washed and cleaned each one before leaving it. He was called, 'the man you would

make himself feel important. 4. __________ He wanted to make people think he was a rich
