Tales of Adventure: Finalist #2

Here is Spring's real-life adventure. After reading it, I've been busy booby-trapping my apartment all week!

Once upon a time, my brother and I were bringing in the mail and paper for some friends (the Craigs) who were on vacation. It was OK for both of their cars to be in the backyard since they were renting a car. Everyday I saw both of the cars in the backyard until one day (which happened to be Monday.) Well they were supposed to be home on Monday, but I didn't know what time, so my brother and I thought they were home. We rang the doorbell to see if they were there, but nobody answered, and the mail and paper wasn't taken in. So I decided to go in, since that was why we were there anyway. When we got in I called "Hello!" and no answer. So I just put the mail and paper in the designated box and drank some water (one of the things we got as a reward for bringing the mail and paper in was unlimited water!) And then I left.

When we got home I told my dad that one of the cars wasn't there, but the mail and paper wasn't inside. My dad first thought it might be stolen, and we were going to call the Craigs if they didn't call us first. Later the Craigs called and said the car WAS stolen and the house was broken into. Drawers were open, but the only thing we found gone was the keys and some headphones... I discovered that the headphones were gone because when I was at my piano lesson (Mrs. Craig is my piano teacher too) the day after we discovered the the burglary I was going to play a music game on the computer but the headphones were gone. Now what kind of thief would take keys and the WORST HEADPHONES the Craigs had?

It's kind of scary to think that maybe the burglar was in the house when my brother and I were there.
