A man reported his vintage car stolen from his garage. He stated he parked it inside, locked the garage door, and went to sleep. Officer Dale inspected the garage: the car was gone, but the dust on the floor was completely undisturbed except for the tire tracks leading straight out the closed garage door. What was the solution?
The garage door was open when he parked
If the dust was undisturbed and the tracks led straight through the closed door, the car was driven out while the door was open, or the owner staged the scene poorly.
