The famous jewel thief known as 'The Chameleon' left a calling card at every crime scene: a small origami frog. When Detective Briggs caught the suspect, he checked the paper frog for fingerprints. The suspect laughed, saying, 'You won't find a single print on that paper.' Briggs tested it and found he was right, yet still arrested the thief. Why?
The thief wore gloves
While wearing gloves prevents leaving fingerprints, it also proves the suspect anticipated police methods and took deliberate precautions to avoid trace evidence, confirming his identity as the professional thief.
