Stalled at the Stargazers' Bend

≈ 6 min

The Cairnmoor Hill-Climb Series uses the observatory's upper service park as an overnight paddock. On Friday evening the cars were sealed under scrutineering tape. At 06:00 Saturday, Susanna Velt's Car 17 was found unable to start. Scrutineering tape on the bonnet was broken. No alarm was triggered. Your task is to profile the person who disabled the car — not to name them.
