Really Really Dumb Criminals 26 is this week’s Mystery Question. Again from the archives…but they’re still fun. I’m still shaking my head over the true ones from last week…
I hope everyone had a wonderful and safe Fourth! I had a quiet one…missed the flyovers, so no photos of it. I think the temps reached 101° with a heat index of 106°…or maybe that was Friday…Needless to say, holidays mess up my days, even when they fall on a Saturday. lol
Now for the photo. I guess you can tell I’ve been flying again. It is amazing to be up in the clouds, looking down at the earth. That’s when that verse popped into my mind…did you ever wonder if the earth-is-flat people read the Bible? It plainly states God sits above the curve of the earth!
Now onto last week’s Mystery Question. These are from various police blotter reports. As usual, three are true, one I made up. It is your task to figure out which one. 
- Hotel employees called police regarding an unwanted guest. Officers found him in the elevator, nude. He said he thought it was a shower. Camera footage showed the man entering the elevator fully clothed, but he soon began disrobing.
- A woman displeased with the way her housekeeper put her towels away called her local police and requested a deputy to come and talk to her.
- A farmer called police at midnight after his rooster backed a teenage boy into a corner in his henhouse. It turned out he’d been dared to sneak into the henhouse and steal a chicken. He hadn’t counted on the guard rooster.
- During a disturbance call, a man gave officers a false name and was arrested after he was found to have warrants for both names.
And the answer is…#3! Congrats to all who guessed correctly.
Now for this week’s Mystery Question: Really Really Dumb Criminals 26. Below are four different crimes. Three, unfortunately, are true. I made up one. Can you guess which one?
- A woman posed as a deputy and showed up at the prison where he was being held with bogus papers for his release. They got away with it until the actual deputy called to say he was coming to retrieve the prisoner.
- A teenager hacked into a government server on a lark and within twenty-four hours, federal agents swarmed his parents’ house, holding them for questioning for another twenty-four hours before they took the boy away
- in handcuffs.
- Officials canceled a Silver Alert for a 70-year-old man after a detective pulled him over and noticed a woman who appeared to be dead buckled into the passenger seat. He’d been driving with her in the seat for a week after she died at a hotel.
- A man was arrested after he drove his lawn mower, complete with trailer, into the side of a squad car. The state previously suspended his driver’s license. When he registered three times the state limit on the Breathalyzer, he claimed the state spiked his bloodstream.
Okay, Mystery Sleuths, which one did I make up? Leave your comment and I’ll enter you in a July drawing for a booklight…or something… 🙂 I’ll be traveling Tuesday, so it may be late before I answer the comments, but I will!
I’m still in a patriotic mood and want to share one of the most beautiful renditions of the Star Spangled Banner I’ve ever heard. I hope you enjoy!
