One of my upstream neighbors told me this story tonight:

Across the river from her are three cabins owned by a woman who lives in Minnesota. One of them is the family cabin, one is rented out to vacationers on a short-term basis, and one is rented to a caretaker for reduced rent in exchange for looking out for things.

Her caretaker left so she had to find a new one. A nice-looking 55 year old man from Nebraska applied for the job, said he had moved here from Nebraska because he was getting a divorce and needed a change of scenery. He found a job at Safeway in the deli, as the manager of it, in fact. But then, he had a horrible traffic accident and had to have several surgeries, so his ex-wife came from Nebraska to get his things from his rental cabin because it will be awhile before he will be out of the hospital. She was very upset to discover that someone had stolen his TV set, and maybe some other things. That same weekend one of the other neighbors came to visit his own cabin and discovered HIS TV was missing, as did yet another neighbor - a total of four missing television sets.

Come to find out, the nice man who was the caretaker had stolen all those TV sets, and pawned them. He pawned his own TV in order to make it look like he was also a victim, but before he could get home and take the next steps to cover his tracks, he had that car accident, so all was discovered. There is no doubt he's guilty: it has all been proven, and he will be going to jail once he's out of the hospital.
