height of the wall. (80 words)

Summary
A large car entered an arcade near Piccadilly and stopped
outside a jeweller's. Two thieves got out and smashed the shop
window. The owner of the shop was upstairs at the time, so he threw
furniture at thethieves hitting one of them with a heavy statue.
The raid lasted only three minutes and the thieves drove away.
Running after them, the owner threw ashtrays and vases, but the
thieves got away, stealing thousands of pounds worth of diamonds.
