How to Catch the Thief in Death in Sakkara

"Death in Sakkara" is a point-and-click adventure game coded in Flash that the British Broadcasting Company (BBC) developed and released. The game places you in the shoes of a journalist dragged into a film-noir murder mystery during the 1920s. About halfway through the game, you are robbed of your possessions and must chase the thief down to progress any further in the game. It is not an especially difficult puzzle to catch the thief, but it does take some persistence.

     Avoid trying to catch up to the thief, as he is programmed to take every turn he encounters. Wait for him to turn into a U-shaped alley, then run past the entrance he took and take the second entrance. You will run straight into him and retrieve your belongings.
