Coins at the Cantata Break
≈ 9 min
The Harrowgate Philharmonic Rehearsal Hall hosts a biannual Community Music Day each September, consisting of a morning public concert followed by a ninety-minute break and then an afternoon workshop session. During the break, a charity collection box — a sealed steel tin with a coin slot on top, placed on the welcome counter near the main entrance — was emptied of its contents. The tin was intact when the morning concert ended at 11:40 and was found empty at 13:15 when the afternoon session staff opened the foyer. Your task is to profile the offender's behaviour, not to identify who they are.
