Inspector Lane investigated a warehouse robbery. The burglar stole heavy gold bars, carrying them out through a narrow window too small for a normal person to pass through while holding heavy items. The window had no ropes or pulleys attached. How did the thief get the gold out?
The burglar threw the gold bars out the window first, then climbed through.
Separating the heavy load from the act of passage allows a person to fit through a tight space.
