Jan takes a normal box and locks it. He declares the space enclosed by the box to be the "outside," and the world to be "inside."


Unfortunately, the mail thieves declare "outside" to be the volume in conformal space on the side of the boundary definition that contains the point at infinity, and "inside" to be the volume that does not, and thus steal the ring.

Of course the point at infinity had been stolen some time ago, and its whereabouts are currently unknown.
