A man claims his car was stolen from his driveway while he slept. Detective Drake inspected the vehicle's tires parked in the garage. The front tires were caked in dry mud, but the driveway was completely paved with fresh, smooth, wet concrete that had no tire tracks on it whatsoever. What does this mean?
The car was never driven out of the garage; the owner lied about the theft.
Driving a car out of the garage would have left tracks in the wet concrete driveway, which was pristine.
