Backyard Bandit
Kudos to Rachel for guess the solution to the last mystery so quickly! As a result... I'm posting another one up.
Dr. J.L. Quicksolve arrived at the home of Mr. And Mrs John Mark. Mrs. Mark came to the door and let him in. She and Mr. Mark explained that they had been robbed while they were away for the weekend. They said their neighbor had seen the burglar. Dr. Quicksolve asked to talk with the neighbor, Mr. Dare.
John Mark led Dr. Quicksolve out the back door. Mr. Dare was on a ladder on the other side of an eight-foot hedge that spearated the two backyards. John introduced Dr. Quicksolve and Mr. Dare. "Dr. Quicksolve would like to ask you a few questions," said John. "I told the police everything, but, sure, I don't mind," Mr. Dare said. "Just tell me what you saw, Mr. Dare," Quicksolve said.
"Well, it happened this morning. I was mowing the grass here in my backyard. I heard a funny noise over here, and I saw a man at John's backdoor, picking the lock. He got inside pretty quickly. I ran into my house and called the police. Just before they got here, I saw him run out the backdoor carrying a large box. They police were just a few minutes too late."
"Could you describe the man?" Dr. Quicksolve asked. "Sure. THe police have the description," Mr. Dare said. "I guess it doesn't really matter, unless you described yourself," Dr. Quicksolve said.
Why does Dr. Quicksolve suspect Mr. Dare?
