The ransom note told him to bring a valuable diamond to a phone booth in the middle of a public park. Plainclothes police officers surrounded the park, intending to follow the criminal or his messenger. The rich man arrived at the phone booth and followed instructions but the police were powerless to prevent the diamond from leaving the park and reaching the crafty villain. What did he do?     I have no idea what the answer is.     I guessed:   He sucked the diamond out of the telephone.     The telephone launched into the air propelled by rockets and went to where the criminal was.   The criminal uses the power of his mind to lift the telephone booth into the air and out of the park.   But none were correct.     The person who gave me the riddle said it was a true story.
