The Case of the stolen Virtual Boy

[Gooseberrysoda]

It has come to my conclusion that my Virtual Boy has been stolen. Such a big thing doesn't just go missing, and if it did, it wouldn't STAY missing after a thorough house cleaning. I only have 3 suspects, you tell me who to interrogate first.

Suspect 1: Jesse
Jesse has been a friend of mine for some time. However, since I have been friend with him, things have gone missing. Some smaller things could be explained by falling out of a car or something (Game Boy and Game Boy Advance Games) but then Super Smash Brothers and finally my Virtual Boy. Besides, his super religious views would be good cover for stealing anything.

Suspect 2: Arek
Arek seems to be a pretty straight and narrow, but the day after he left my house, I noticed my Virtual Boy missing (although I hadn't looked for it for about a week before). And he always seems to have too much money.

Suspect 3: Dad
Dad's been recently charging obscene amounts of money ($10) for simple slip-ups (Leaving Clothes in the bathroom, leaving plates downstairs) (Not to sound like an angsty teenager) He also recieved a 10% paycut this year. He's been really shifty about this whole thing... could he have stolen it for a little extra income?

Sound like you are in desperate need of a change in company. A virtual boy is not easy to ditch locally either. Look around local pawnshops, craigslist, etc. to see if it popped/pops up anywhere. And be sure to find some guise to covertly stake out Jesse's and Arkons place.

I'd pin it on Jesse.

Your dad probably wouldn't sell your games, even if he's in a sour mood of late. Any dad that cares enough to try and teach you to clean up (learn responsibility) most likely doesn't want to take your stuff.

Arek probably just has money. It is not like selling a Virtual Boy is going to make him rich.

If things go missing when Jesse is around, I think you already know who to suspect. Many of the greatest crimes perpetuated have been by religious nuts, so that's no alibi.

It's none of the suspect above. It was YOU! admit it.

[AmishSamurai]

The butler. It's always the fucking butler.

I had amnesia and I wrote the book myself! Brilliant!

Jesse has sticky fingers. Just approach him nicely, use "I feel" statements, and most importantly, try to stay friends.

And those are the CRAZY religious nuts - religious nuts are just religious people that have actually read the Bible.

I was under the impression that the only people who have ever read the bible are atheists.

[final fight cd]

this sounds like a riddle.

my answer is "none of the above."

i think you have a bigger problem than just a missing virtual boy if you suspect your friends - assuming they actually are your friends - and your dad stealing from you.

It was the Butler, in the Breakfast Nook, with the Candlestick.
