The police were approached by a 64-year-old man in the port of Smíchov. He said that a pen hanging on his T-shirt had inadvertently fallen.

“He justified his request by saying that the purchase price is just over 100 thousand crowns and that it is a limited edition inspired by Jean Valjean’s prison uniform,” said police spokeswoman Irena Seifert.

For the owner, the pen was even more valuable because it was a gift. The divers went to the action, police officers who had a hard time working because there was a large layer of mud at the bottom. After an hour of searching, they were successful and found a pen.

Seifert mentioned that the case is exceptional rather worth the value of the case, because the police often help in this way. They hunted, for example, a bicycle, keys or a purse. It always depends on the assessment of the patrol. In this particular case, they didn’t even have to go anywhere, because it happened at their pontoon.
