The Case of the Missing Boat
It was one pleasant day at Spider Lake in Michigan, it was a warm sunny day and lots of people were outside, some clouds were coming in but other than that is was a perfect day. The Schreiber family was out at a cottage on the lake, they were going to go one a boat ride to what they called the pirate island, it was just a small island in the lake. There was a house on that island but they never knew if somebody actually lived on it, infact there was always an empty boat there that was anchored on the island that was pretty up to date so there must have been somebody. When they arrived on the island the boat that was usually there was not, they thought that the people that lived there must have taken it out but they soon realized that that was the case. Ronald , a man that they had just met, lived on the island and was very angry and frustrated he asked them if they had seen a boat similar to his. They said no and he said that he had a couple people in mind, one he had the sheriff’s assistent that came around on his boat. He said that he had seen the assistant sheriff riding with the sheriff in his boat earlier today, he said that they assistent never liked him and that the assistant did not have a boat of his own. Second it could be one of his neighbors Bob who had a boat that looked exactly like that one that was lost so he could have taken his, even though he had that exact one, so that he could have more boats. Last it could be one of his friends that lived on the lake, he said that he had no real reason of being suspicious of him he just always thought that he was a person that would end up committing a crime. Ronald said that he paid the sheriff’s assistant a friendly visit and went to talk to him and he said that during that earlier this morning he was talking with Bob about his boat. Then he went and talked to Bob and noticed a scratch on his boat that was on exactly the same spot as his missing boat. Next he went to talk to his friend who was minding his own business and did not seem suspicious at all until out of the corner of his eye Ronald spotted his very own lucky fishing net, he asked him why that was here and he said he had no idea how it got there and that it must have floated to his little beach. In the end the sheriff’s assistant and Bob both committed the crime together, his lucky fishing net was put on his friends beach to make him look suspicious but he did not do it. They did it in the morning and switched Bob’s boat out on the beach and then Bob gave his old one to the sheriff’s assistant.
