Bare Shelves at Brackenfold

≈ 6 min

The Brackenfold Annual Produce Show is held each September in the club's main hall. Entrants cultivate plots in the rear garden strip and store their prize vegetables in a shared locked shed adjacent to the plots. The night before judging, the shed was found ransacked: several entries had been removed or damaged, and the shed was left in considerable disarray. Your task is to profile the offender's behaviour — not to name a suspect.
