:CASE
Note: This case was written by Jim Vickonoff one of the users
at Mycroft RBBS. Thanks Jim for an excellent case.
This time every year people travel from all over the
globe to attend the "New Innovative Car Expo". This
year everybody was looking forward to seeing John Royce's
new "Rolls Royce Ultimate" edition which he had boasted
about so much during the past year.
On the morning of the show, Mr. Herbert Fanner arrived
and upon opening the Expo Hall he discovered that the
Rolls Royce was missing.
None of the doors, windows or skylights appeared to
be broken or tampered with. The building was equipped
with a full perimeter alarm system even with pressure
sensitive pads on the floor.
Among the persons questioned by Inspector Lestrade were
Robert Bentley, the owner of Bentley Automobiles; James
Fillman, Pres. and CEO of Fillman Petroleum; William
Peabody, the custodian; Rayban Gielgood, Pres. of Jaguar
Motor Cars; Bob Albert, producer of "Airwolf" and
of course Mrs. Royce.
Holmes, these are the things you must find out:
a) Who took the Rolls Royce?
b) How was it stolen?
c) What was the motive?
The game is afoot!

:STORY
Mr. Wellington had been beaten by Royce one too many times
playing squash. After many hours of careful thought, he knew
what would be the perfect payback.
That night Wellington, taking advantage of it's silent mode,
used Skywolf to quietly lift the Rolls Royce out through the
skylight in the roof. Hence, Mr. Royce would not be able to
show the car he boasted so much about at the Car Show.
