FCSI

The Crime: Unauthorized taking and dispersing of used frying oil after a wing feast.


AHA! The thief left trace evidence behind.
The game's afoot Watson!
(You love it when I call you Watson, don't you?)

Hmmm ...

These prints are pretty clear, but we should follow procedure.
Watson, hand me the fingerprint powder.

Excellent!
Although I prefer Hersheys fingerprint powder from the great state of Pennsylvania.

A light dusting will do, Watson.
What? You forgot your fingerprint brush.
You'll have to get low and puff the powder away.
Pretend it's your birthday and you have a wee tiny cake with those irritating restarting birthday candles atop it.
Puff, Watson, Puff!

Ah well, not the greatest, but it will have to do.
Now, Watson , based on the evidence at hand, ...
... who was the culprit?

  3. Haha...that was fun! Do another one, do another one!!! (Sorry, I'm on day 7 of a 10 day work "week" and I have done 16 presentations/hikes for groups ranging from kindergarten to adult. I'm just a little punchy.)

  7. Hi FC,

    A description of the little thief has gone out and an APB issued. Your fingerprints will help put him away. Video was taken at his latest heist:

  9. i am shocked, absolutely shocked, that you deviated from standard procedure and did not provide a measurement photo. and your usual substitute -- look, here's my thumb by comparison! -- does not work when your hand is all curled up and you've put fingerprint powder all over the crime scene evidence. will let that go this time, sherlock. it sure does look like a racoon.

  11. Thanks Sherlocks!
    If we catch this perp, we'll send him to the Procyonidae Penal Colony.
