( CP up to his old tricks...AGAIN!
Guess what he & his 'new' partner in crime is trying to do?
The "good" news is that he ONLY got scolded by the hotel staff on the 2nd day for trying to move/remove a statue which was like a display centre piece. Normally, he 'makes' an impression on the first day! )
