The old lady was glad to be back at the block of flats where she lived. Her shopping had
tired her and her basket had grown heavier with every step on the way home. In the lift, her
thoughts were on lunch and a good rest but when she got out at her own floor, both were

police inspector arrived with a constable and she told them of her discovery of the ransacked
flat. The inspector began to look for finger-prints, while the constable checked that the front
door locks had not been forced, thereby proving that the burglars had either used skeleton
