Though, when the man on the other end read out a number of the winning ticket and the name of the syndicate basil When cultural level, Friday's in his stomach the ability to speak. He struggled to finish writing the orders he was making and had to accept the help of a few people around him as of dawn had just one one hundred thousand pounds the currency of the time in nineteen sixty in two thousand and eighteen, that would equivalent to around two point, eight million a strongly endorse. Basel had only border through peons lottery ticket a few times before small wins five or ten pounds here and there the discord he looked down at his winning lottery ticket. He taught the grass

What had originally been thought to take four years to build at a total cost of around seven million pounds became Fourteen million lb, TAT, while state government realised that needed much more money to complete the project. After running several unsuccessful funding campaigns. They set up the opera, ass lottery First, lottery ticket was sold in November nineteen, fifty seven and

Destruction of the opera House began in March naughty Fifty nine. The opera house lottery was still running in nineteen sixty when Basil went frayed a thorn unexpectedly one in the process, gets at the time was three pounds in them: The prize was one hundred thousand pounds. We what weather front page news in Sydney Insta were also splashed across newspapers around the country. bustles flock came into Charles King, said Psmith Airport in Sydney. He was good They bought three report is ready to fight a graph him for the paper. Basil was humble and then use had yet the sinking he taught The report is that he wasn't going to get too excited. He spoke Putting the winnings fixed bank deposit until they got used to having so much money he vowed, he wouldn't get reckless and said quote. I believe in the saying charity, begins in the home and enjoying intend to make this more policy.

Basil had a lot to consider and was thinking about others. He was in a business partnership with his father and wasn't prepared to leave him in the lurch. Indeed, daughter Cheryl, who was in permanent care also had they considered. afraid. I didn't know that house this win, I could never afford one but they didn't want to make any rash decisions. As reporters is watched on thirty seven year old basil thorn got into a taxi at the airport and headed for. the following morning. The headlines read one Thousand pound win to you to retire and when results were printed. so too, were the street addresses of the winners. For family, who had just one big, the thorns continued law is normal in the waste that followed continued working on the road. eight year old, Graham went off to school and free. I stayed home with three year old Belinda.

The thorns wind was no secret, but for them things Remained the same. After applying to have a telephone line put into their flat back in March, they finally received the number two months later in may MID June. It still and connected So instead of report is finding the Thorn household There was an unusual for there to be a lot of knocks on. They do on June, Fourteenth nineteen sixty just after dinner, radio is standing in the kitchen when she heard a knock. She used to be a man. But it was unusual to get a visit at that light. Fraid. It was often home alone during the week with Basel on the road. But this not. She was glad. Buzzer was home. She answered the door to a man who introduced himself as a private investigator. He said he was looking for a man named Wagner

mighty spite of the door and, after a short discussion, the thorns we're confident he had the wrong address. they recommended, he go and see the lady in the upstairs flat who in the building for about twenty years. That the private investigator was adamant that it was the thorns flat he was looking for. He put it a small black notebook and asked the phone number he had recorded was theirs. Considering that phone was still awake away from being connected I thought it was unusual that he had got a new number correct. Asked how he had gotten their number. He said he had ways and means to do so. basil and freighter assumed the private investigator had just made a mistake nothing more of it after he left. Just you of one month later on July. Seventh, one seventh, nineteen sixty. Cup and go Graham ready for school.

Does it was on the road again this time working in Tennessee in country, new, South Wales,. Frida had arrangement with a friend of hers, Phyllis Smith, to take.

Sometimes he has a young with me and, if you to know anything, he asked me straight here. he's pretty out in the head for his age. After speaking to the shopkeeper grind, Well, go outside sit on top of the school case, and white for Phyllis Smith, the collecting, but on that day July, seventh, Crime never made it to the corner, store. when Phyllis Smith arrived, there was no sign of him.

She waited a few minutes, then pulled over a little up the road and sent her son to the corner store to look for him. When the sun came back without him, Phyllis the car around and drive to the thorns he has assumed he was running like when she knocked on the door, chicks the great, become rushing out, but instead a confused frayed ideas, And said, Graham had already left, Just went back to the corner store again in this town.

Back to the Thorns house. when frayed a thorn heard. The Graham was not at the school. She picked up the funding which had just been connected and called the police. At nine thirty, I am sorry, Lario shy of police arrived at the flat. The discard grant to the sergeant. At eight and a half he was tall for his age, he had fair hair, which would darker and more brown as it was wet, loyal Was parted on the left and swept and back he had gaps between his teeth. it was always smiling.

The phone rang. is that you, MRS Stone, I'll call her than asked to speak to her husband Basil freedom that Basle wasn't home and ass. The call of what he wanted him for he replied. I have your son.

Twenty four thousand peanuts before five hundred this afternoon, I'm not fooling

The money before five o clock, afraid the boy to the shocks. Twenty five thousand pounds in nineteen sixty is clear. Seven hundred and fifty thousand australian dollars today you'd never said he would find back at four p m with further instructions. There was only when I shall hung up the fire, the fray. I told him about their recent lottery: win if they'd been inundated with letters from people asking for money, there were requests, from individuals and some from charities, but stage had they ever felt threatened until now. knowledge of the thorns watery wind caused serious alarm and the your police operation, kicked in from that moment. Without any hesitation, it would be the biggest searching new software police history and mark new territory for Australia, the first

one child kidnapping for ransom in the country. As basil thorn arrived home to Sydney Airport. He heard his name called over. The loudspeaker he was called. The inquiry desk. When he approached he was told there was a police matter, and I wanted to say him immediately. It was The battle was taught about, Grimes disappeared. But it wasn't until he walked through the front door of his home that he heard about the ransom. Office has stated the thorns vital die in case the kidnap, a call back and as they waited, Search operation grew to unprecedented levels. Least conducted a door knock of old houses and flattened in the area. They were back Tat, no one had seen or heard anything unusual. For someone to endorse a child into a car within such a short space of time on a busy road, the kidnapping the main well planned and perfectly executed.

Police believed that may have been committed by more than one person, possibly a group of people. I also thought a woman may have been involved, the theory being that a woman intercepted Graham Telling him that she was going to take him to school instead of Phyllis Smith. With the accent of the man who called that morning, in the knowledge that kidnappings were not commonplace in Austria police they dolly on that. The offender may have been someone who would only recently arrived in the country. as they waited anxiously for four pm to roll around doesn't want Frida confirmed without hesitation that they would pay the rent in demand and even more. Or if they had to, they just want to Graham home. But fought them came and went with no Franco. Why had to kidnap not call back what he said? It would.

Intervene was in severe shock. At nine hundred and forty seven p dot m, during a moment of silence in the flat the phone started to three. An officer answer the phone and pretended to be basil. His job the stole the call for long enough, so the girl could be traced. The kidnappers got it to give you the instructions. The money was placed into two separate paper bags

before he went on to state where the money should be dropped, he hung up. After Frida was sedated by the doctor, a friend to take the younger daughter basil, refused to sleep and set up all night waiting Maybe the kidnapper would call back Police continue questioning neighbours lighting into the north.

Delaney Wasted the bustles play be printed in the Sydney papers in three foreign languages, german, italian and break languages that were widely spoken in Australia at the time. The ladys idea was to distribute the appeal as far as possible and didn't have anything to do with the accent of the kidnapper. The premium Bob heifers called the kidnapping and appalling happening and that it was every citizen's duty to help the police club. Somehow we have never thought that kidnapping a child and holding him to ransom could occur in this country, but it has. emergency planes were installed at airports. Shipping docks in major roads.
