Airline planes has been hijacked before, some in a most dramatic way. But most are detected almost at once. Ransoms were announced, they were followed by sophisticated search equipments from the ground and at times,  stormed by special operatives on landing.

But when an air snatch has scaped detection by the two of the world’s top surveillance countries with their unparalleled prowess in electronic search and surveillance apparatus who could tell your grandma’s undies wherever she is, that is something else. For twelve days, the Malaysian airliner was missing and not even the US and Chinese satellite surveillance and search gadgets could give any clues on how, what and why. Nobody knows what really happened to the Jumbo jetplane, which is not exactly a grain of corn and if it landed on an airstrip, it could at once be noted.

Not until an ad appeared selling a used airplane black box recorder. It was done by a Saudi Prince who is also an airplane memoribilla collector, the plane was derouted to Saudi Arabia, and for crying out loud, was parked right on his own front yard near Jeddah, KSA!

Prince Sahram Al-Sandshoo of Jeddah was arrested by local law enforcement agencies when the missing plane was discovered in his garden. The Saudi authorities immediately requested a search warrant to enter his 40-acre property on the outskirts of Jeddah, the city he has princed for the past 43 years.. Al-Sandshoo is an experienced pilot and a world-renowned collector of aero-memorabilia, most famous for his acquisition of ‘Wright Flyer’, one of the earliest examples of an aircraft by the Wright brothers.

How the Prince did it still befuddles the Malaysian Airways investigators. They still have no chance to interview the culprit.

In a news conference the Malaysian Prime Minister, Perdana Menteri announced, “We have finally located the missing aircraft in Saudi Arabia. The passengers are all OK and are in good spirits. Apparently the prince fed them a banquet of sheep testicles and wine. We are awfully sorry that we misplaced this aircraft, it’s a mistake anyone can make, we hope you understand. It’s been an unfortunate incident but we cannot be held responsible for thieves.”

The CEO of Malaysian Airways said “We have yet to hear from the thief Al-Sandshoo yet, as he is being kept away from the media by police. We believe that the Boeing 777 was a plane missing from his collection and that was the motivation for the robbery. We hope to speak with the Prince over the next few days and will come back with more.”
