Gotcha!

It was Jane's favorite lamp.  She would never, ever have damaged it. 

It was late when she arrived back at the condo.  Someone had been there.  She vacuumed the carpets on her way to swing dancing.  Noticed it immediately upon entering her unit.  Drawers were opened and the closets were ransacked. 

On the floor there was a wrinkled receipt from a coin and silver exchange in town in the amount of $10,213.  Silverware was exchanged as was an assortment of other items.  Just last week a neighbor in the surrounding community was missing the same items. But Jane didn't want to get involved. She stood in the great room of her new condo wondering, why me...why me. Why do I see these things and others do not?  Or, maybe they just ignore them.  She thought the former was accurate.

Jane had been at the Ashworth swing dancing.  It was nearly the next day when she discovered the intrusion.  The police could not get there soon enough. 

The blond woman at her new coffee shop talked about the Ashworth By The Sea Restaurant.  A hopping place.  Jane had the best time there.  Until she came home to the disturbance. 

Fortunately, she had just activated her surveillance camera.
