A museum heist occurred during a snowstorm. The thief stole a diamond tiara and fled on foot across the fresh snow. Detective Frost followed the single set of deep footprints leading away from the museum entrance and ending abruptly in the middle of an open field. Frost smiled and deduced the thief didn't vanish into thin air—they used a simple seasonal tool to escape detection. What was it?
Skis or snowshoes
The thief used skis or snowshoes, which alter footprint depth or allow gliding away without leaving deep walking impressions.
