Inspector Frost investigated a jewel heist at a penthouse. The owner reported that a thief scaled the sheer glass exterior wall using suction cups in broad daylight. Frost looked out the window, shook his head, and told the owner to call his insurance agent to cancel the fraudulent claim. What made the claim impossible?
Suction cups do not work in broad daylight heat
While suction cups can hold weight briefly, scaling a vertical glass wall in broad daylight is physically impossible due to solar heating breaking the vacuum seal. Furthermore, glass exteriors are too dusty for reliable suction without prior cleaning.
