Example key:

I witnessed a burglary at a jewellery store opposite where I live. The burglary took place at ten past nine. I was just about to leave my house for an evening walk, when I saw a burglar trying to break in to the jeweller's shop. I immediately called the police. The burglar had used a big hammer to destroy one of the shop windows. I think he was quite young. He was wearing a colourful tracksuit, a cap, and sunglasses—yellow sunglasses. He ran to a getaway car which was parked across the street, next to where I live, actually. It was a greenish car, an old model. Someone in the car held the door for the burglar, and then they took off. Unfortunately, I couldn’t read the license plate, as it was rather dark.
