In Sharpe’s Prey he loses his lock picks on the beach, but I know he has them in later adventures from other novels I’ve read, so I was expecting him to return to the beach near Koge and find the forty-two thousand pound sterling buried by the dragoons and his lock picks, but the resolution ties up the lose ends at the townhouse in Copenhagen without a reunion with the lock picks. Not a real serious problem. How does he eventually recover the lock picks?
