A rare stamp collection was stolen from a glass frame. The thief left behind muddy footprints leading away from the display, but none leading toward it. Detective Fox smiled and named the culprit: the museum janitor. Why?
The janitor mopped the floor after placing the footprints
To make it look like a break-in, someone walked away with mud, but the clean floor leading up to the display case meant the footprints were planted afterward, pointing to someone with access to floor-cleaning equipment.
