Summary: Theo Pincher is good at most things: drawing, tying shoelaces, working the remote control. But he just can't lie -- and in the Pincher family, what matters is being able to lie and pinch things that belong to others. Then his parents decide to visit the diamond exhibition. 'Promise you won't pinch the gold diamond?' says Theo. 'I promise,' says his mother, on hand behind her back. 'We'll just take a little look,' says Theo's dad. 'No touching.' Now Theo and his little sister Ellen are home alone. Their only option is to break Grandma out of jail and try to stop the diamond heist.
