Bratt Convenience Store Burglary Under Investigation

I love your green police cars(trucks)!
AT OVERSIGHT you are correct about it not being the same as it was when dad and mom or uncle Lawrence and Doris ran it….I stopped in there back in September when we were down there and it is definitely a different kind of place…but it is the same thing about the robbery …a shame and I HOPE THEY GET CAUGHT AND THE BOOK IS THROWN AT THEM…
At oversight,
You must have seen some of the folks around there after dark.
At Bonnie,
While it is still a country store,it has changed.
Nothing like when your parents or Mr.Lawrence ran it.
Well, Mr. Holmes if you’re so intelligent why don’t have this figured out? Why don’t the police turn to you since you think you’re smarter than everyone. I figure that if you can condescend on someone who is simply inquiring about this incident, then you should be able to solve this case. Go ahead Dr. Holmes. You got this.
Sherlock, hours of operation isn’t the question or concern. Operating habits refer to how and where the day’s receipts of cash are stored. Recently terminated former employees should be highly suspect along with current ones under consideration too. Notice what was not reported stolen: beer, tobacco, lottery tickets, or any of the hundreds of items.
this is terrible…my dad and mom used to own this very store..and lived across street from it going toward Canoe..Howard and Cora Cooper as they were known..then he sold it to his brother Lawrence and wife Doris Cooper…it is easy to see that it is closed when you go by it..dark inside and no cars there…don’t have to be inside job..just some person who thinks they can get something for nothing and not have to work for their money..crazy yes…sure hope they get caught…
>>Inside job? Or at least someone with knowledge about the store’s operating habits.
You could be right. How in the world would anyone learn the store’s “operating habits”? It’s not like stores put operating hours right there on the front door. Hmm..how would they know when it would be closed? We made need a real Sherlock to figure out if they saw operating hours on the door and the lights off before they smashed their way in. Oh, and if we bring Watson in to help, he mind find they actually put up a closed sign at night.
Inside job? Or at least someone with knowledge about the store’s operating habits.
