Wow, number 9 pretty ridiculous. The perp used the Roman numeral IIII instead of IV, and that's what jewelers do, so it must be the jeweler (and this particular one)? And most expensive watches don't even follow that?

(On a side note, I have seen IIII in the 4-spot on clocks, but only in a few places in San Francisco.)

A book for children, ridiculous? Never!
