The expensive shops in a famous arcade near Piccadilly were just opening. At this time of the morning, the

arcade was almost empty. Mr Taylor, the owner of a jewellery shop was admiring a new window display. Two

of his assistants had been working busily since 8 o'clock and had only just finished. Diamond necklaces and

rings had been beautifully arranged on a background of black velvet. After gazing at the display for several

minutes, Mr Taylor went back into his shop.

The silence was suddenly broken when a large car, with its headlights on and its horn blaring, roared down

the arcade. It came to a stop outside the jeweler's. One man stayed at the wheel while two others with black

stockings over their faces jumped out and smashed the window of the shop with iron bars. While this was

going on, Mr Taylor was upstairs. He and his staff began throwing furniture out of the window. Chairs and

tables went flying into the arcade. One of the thieves was struck by a heavy statue, but he was too busy

helping himself to diamonds to notice any pain. The raid was all over in three minutes, for the men scrambled

back into the car and it moved off at a fantastic speed. Just as it was leaving, Mr Taylor rushed out and ran

after it throwing ashtrays and vases, but it was impossible to stop the thieves. They had got away with

thousands of pounds worth of diamonds.

how did  Taylor try to stop thieves?
