A Japanese ship was en route in the open sea. The Japanese captain went for a shower removing his diamond ring and Rolex watch on the table. When he returned, his valuables were missing.
Captain immediately called five suspected crew members and
asked each one where and what he was doing for the last 15
minutes.
The Filipino cook (in a heavy overcoat) : I was in fridge room getting meat for cooking.
The Indian Engineer (with a torch in hand) I was working on generator engine.
The Sri Lankan seaman: I was on the mast correcting the flag which was upside down.
The British Radio officer: I was messaging to company that we
are reaching next port in 72hrs.
The British navigation
officer: I was on night watch, so sleeping in my cabin.
The captain caught the liar.
So, who is the thief?
Difficulty Level - 3/5
Solution :
Sri Lankan Seaman bcoz the Japanese flag looks the same either way.

The halyard has got top and bottom. The halyard rope will be longer at the bottom than it is at the top. So a captain might suspect the seaman, but seaman can plead not guilty, as there are excuses. The only case can be, normally in open sea, ships don't show colors, as the flag might get damaged and torn apart in the torturous weather.And the colors are shown from dawn to dusk only,if the time was dark hours(but not in the question). So what was the seaman doing on the top of the mast if they are not showing colors?
