Dear Internets:

Why are you not contacting us out of the blue with your pleas for help? We could use some more people out there owing us favors.

Love,

Dear [Despoiler]:

Last week I had a lengthy conversation with our client Pierre Cuypers, who is a history teacher in the Netherlands. He is the great grandson and namesake of Pierre J.H. Cuypers (1827-1921), a famous Dutch architect who is known all over the world for his Amsterdam buildings like the Rijksmuseum and the Central Station.

Recently the family undertook the restoration of the grave monument of Cuypers, his two wives, his parents and of course his offspring. When they disclosed the tomb for the contractor something very odd happened: after lifting the coffins of the buried members of the family, at the end of the day suddenly another coffin was discovered that no one remembered existing. Before anyone could figure this out, something was stolen out of this coffin. Pierre doesn’t know what to do, because the thief left very few clues. I advised him to put a call for help on the internet to get his heirloom back. He is asking for your help on www.cuyperscode.com.

He will meet you there to brief you.

Dear Internets:

You are one odd duck. Have you thought about seeking professional help?

Love,
Despoiler

P.S. We can’t wait to see the English version because we have totally been to the Rijksmuseum before, we swear. Also, we want a chance at getting a role in the 2008 sequel too, and we are just awesome enough to win the privilege but not quite awesome enough to learn another language first. Let’s just say we are as lazy as we are awesome and leave it at that.
