Just before the Lunar New Year, some guy turned up at Huang's pawnshop claiming to be from Taichung, and saying that he had been robbed of all his money (NT $ 5000) after coming to Taipei to visit a friend. He had only NT $ 100 in his pocket, and wanted to hock his cell phone for another NT $ 200 so he could get a bus ticket home.
