Vince is the inspector in charge of their local police station. The police station building is in
direct need of repairs, but hasn’t received any grants from the government for years. One day,
a typhoon hits a nearby area that damages most of the houses and shops. Although Vince’s
police station gets partially damaged, most of the structure remains intact. Due to the incident,
the government will send a disaster assessment team to ascertain the level of damage and will
provide relief money for the affected areas. The Deputy Superintendent Mr. Simon, orders
Vince and says: “Hire some laborers and destroy the remaining structure of the police station
building. When the disaster assessment team comes, tell them that the building collapsed
because of the typhoon, and ask them to give priority in funding the rehabilitation of our police
station. After all, it is one of the most important public offices in town.”

considers that his boss is right and the end result will be beneficial for the police station.
