Maltese Falcon
missing.
[...]
The Maltese Falcon (a plaster version from the movie set) and some signed Hammett books are gone missing from John's Grill. John Konstin isn't happy.
Konstin wants the bird and the books back so much he's willing to fork over some cash. $25,000 in cold, hard for whoever brings the stuff back to his joint.
"No questions asked," he said.
They never are. Not in this town.

Bertold Brecht:
Everything changes. You can make
A fresh start with your final breath.
But what has happened has happened. And the water
You once poured into the wine cannot be
Drained off again.
