A Curious Story
Catherine Jarvis reminded me that when there was a break-in at their house last year, she had to spend some time cleaning up afterwards. She found a coffee cup beside the window where the robber had broken in. She called the police office who had taken the robbery report and told him that she was sure that the coffee cup belonged to the robber.
He asked her if she was really sure that the cup didn't belong to someone else in the house. She rechecked, asking everyone in the family so see if perhaps someone had bought some coffee or even some cocoa. They all said no.
In a house of practising Mormons, there isn't much chance that a stray coffee cup beside a broken window would belong to any of them.
Now, six months later, the policeman called to say that the DNA on the coffee cup would probably lead to the conviction of a person who had been picked up and who was already know to the police for other break-ins.
A curious story.
