The Case of the Sneak Thief's Sneakers
|

|
| Featuring Nina Chase & Max Decker |
How did Nina & Max figure it out?
She was the only suspect tall enough to
reach the shelf AND with arms too thick
to reach the last dollar.
Nina and Max could hear Mr. Reed's
clarinet long before they arrived back at
the shack. The music sounded loud and
angry and with a lot of wrong notes.
"I think you should have the police talk
to Mona Everest," Nina announced as
they walked through the door.
Mr. Reed didn't seem anxious to
accuse the female wrestler. "Why Mona?
Out of all the people in Harborville?"
"The process of elimination," Max
explained. "Only three people owned that
type of sneaker. Also, the thief had to be
tall enough to reach the shelf. There's no
way a short person could have used the
chair. It's bolted down. The thief also had
to have thick arms. A skinny person
would have been able to retrieve the silver
dollar that fell between the cabinets.
Mona's the only tall, heavyset suspect. It
has to be her."
