Dave = H/A/M? the room = the room the meeting was held in? Was it a professional meeting? If so, is the profession of those present at the meeting relevant? Relevant how many people were at the meeting? Only two? less than 5? less than 10? more than that? Did Dave arrange the other meeting for the same day? same week? same month? later than that? at the same location the first meeting was held in? another location? Did the second meeting take place at all? If so, was Dave present? Did he arrange the meeting via telephone? e-mail? letter? in person? Did Dave commit a crime? If so, before the first meeting? during the first meeting? between the two meetings? during the second meeting? after the second meeting? Did someone else commit a crime? If so, same questions as for Dave. |

Summary: 1. Dave arrives to a meeting room, and see the other two participants of the meeting engaged in stealing something. 2. They don't know that he found out, but he's afraid that if they find out, they'll try to silence him. (or run away? or destroy evidence? anything else?) 3. He therefore uses a likely-sounding excuse to postpone the meeting, and brings a couple of policemen with him for the next meeting in order to arrest the thieves. Is the above a good summary? do we need to find out: what the company does? What they stole? How they stole it? Where they put it? Anything more? |

Galfisk: Summary: 1. Dave arrives to a meeting room, and see the other two participants of the meeting engaged in stealing something. No, quite contrarily. 2. They don't know that he found out yes..., but he's afraid that if they find out, they'll try to silence him. Unlikely. (or run away? Probably. or destroy evidence? Possibly. anything else?) 3. He therefore uses a likely-sounding excuse to postpone the meeting, Yes. and brings a couple of policemen with him for the next meeting in order to arrest the thieves. Yes. Is the above a good summary? There is the FA about the crime and the first meeting. do we need to find out: what the company does? What company? What they stole? This may be helpful but the scenario could go well with many items. How they stole it? Yesish. Where they put it? Yesish. Anything more? Yes - especially how did Dave know about the crime. If he hadn't scheduled the other meeting, would the thieves have gotten away? Not necessarily. Did they wait for the other meeting instead of doing something relevant? No. Did Dave say anything relevant in the first meeting, except for the excuse and the time/place for the new meeting? No. |

Were the goods Dave's? stolen from him? Then the thieves attempted to sell him his own stuff? Possibly not knowing he was the guy they stole it from? Dave recognised the goods? Possibly because they're unique? have identifying marks? are simply all the same items he's missing? So Dave arranges another meeting involving the police? Either to just arrest them? or otherwise establish evidence of the crime so they can be arrested? |

Just the tiny piece is missing - how did Dave establish these were his goods. |

Were the goods damaged in any way? Perhaps, scratches that Dave recalls making? or damage made by the thieves in their removal of the goods? that corresponds to damage left in the location they were stolen from? Are the goods in some intentional way customised? |

Galfisk: Did they have any relevant: markings? Labels? Settings? Content? Attachments? Wear marks? Missing parts? Stuff stuck to them? All of these are possible. Just assume that the items were similar to what Dave had in his possession. |

Are the items tools? Dave did something more than just look at the items before he knew they were stolen, correct? Did he: touch them? Smell them? Use them? Listen to them? Hold them? Lift them? Did he know his items were missing beforehand? |

Did he put them somewhere? Look at a container they were in? Were they in any container? Did he ask questions about them? Move them? Did he do this thing: with he items? To the items? To the people? To something else? Someone else? Did he go to check how many/which of the items he would need? Did he see that his items were missing first? Or did he see that the offered items were his, first? |

Not container: wrapping? Bag? Box? String? Did he check: if anything had been stolen? His records? Photos? Surveillance? Did the check confirm that the items were his? Or did it strengthen his suspicion? |

Galfisk: Not container: wrapping? Bag? Box? String? No, possible FA. Did he check: if anything had been stolen? Yes! His records? Photos? Surveillance? Nothing of this type. Till now, tools have been the closest guess. Did the check confirm that the items were his? Yes. Or did it strengthen his suspicion? No, after having checked he knew for sure. |

Not tools: instruments? If so: musical? Measuring? Did he see something relevant when he went to check, besides the fact that the items were missing? |

Did he check: a car? His car? A stockroom? Were the parts removed from whole cars? Partial cars? Or were they separate parts in the first place? |

Galfisk: Did he check: a car? His car? YES! A stockroom? Were the parts removed from whole cars? Yes, one car. Partial cars? Or were they separate parts in the first place? ***************SPOILER************* Dave was the owner of the shop with car parts. Two people were often selling car parts to him. Once they came with car parts, that make Dave suspicious, because they were similar to the new parts he just put in his car. Dave postponed the meeting using a believable excuse. Then he went to his house, check his car and discover that the parts were missing. Then he found a policeman and took him for the postponed meeting. The thieves were caught and arrested. Thanks for playing and congrats to Galfisk for solving the puzzle. |
