~The Case Of The Stolen Computer~

Gunner had ordered a computer off of craigslist that was a fairly nice computer. It was supposed to be dropped off yesterday at 4:00 a.m. but when Gunner had come home from work the package wasn’t there. His yard was kinda muddy and he had seen footsteps from someone walking on his lawn and the footsteps looked fairly fresh, the shoe prints kinda look the bottoms of Jared Cross’ shoes like he had come to his house and stolen the package off of Gunner’s porch. But as Gunner was trying to see if the footprints when inside his house because he could have gone inside to hang out with Jacob his son and play his xbox.Turns out there were muddy footprints going into his house that went downstairs to Jacob’s xbox.

The mailman Dan Dekam had delivered the package, Gunner had called Dan to make sure that he had dropped off the package on his porch and Dan said that he did drop off the package on his porch. Gunner was still confused and wondering if Dan had really dropped of the package at his house. But as he kept thinking if Dan had really not dropped off the computer and kept it he wouldn’t have the job at the delivery place and they would’ve fired him by that time.

Gunner’s neighbor Hudson Deboer was kind of a weird guy he always seem to be staring out his window into Gunner’s house and like scanning his house for something to steal, which kinda made Gunner suspicious that Hudson might have stolen his computer but there was no evidence that Hudson had left his house and came to Gunner’s house and stolen his computer because as he was thinking that he remembered that Hudson was on vacation with his family in Florida so he couldn’t have taken the computer.

So Gunner kept going around his house to look for clues and he had seen of his driveway that there was skid marks on his driveway from a car going out of his driveway really fast, then he saw a piece of paper laying on the ground. He picked up the piece of paper and read it…It was the title for the car and it had the name of the owner of the car “Gabe Harris” and also on the title it said his address “6480 ShortFront Dr.” Gunner got into his car and drove to that address and said that Gabe’s car was still sitting outside of his garage and saw that in the back of the car was…the package that had Gunner’s address on it and said “computer” on it.
