Vanished Donations at the Ridgeline Halt

≈ 6 min

The Halcrest Funicular Hotel hosts a Sunday Alpine Service in its Panorama Lounge — a non-denominational gathering attended by resident guests and local funicular workers. The service runs from 10:00 to 10:45, followed by a twenty-minute coffee interval, then a second short service from 11:10 to 11:40. Between the two sessions, the sealed charity collection box mounted on the reading-table near the lounge entrance was found emptied. The hotel manager has called for a behavioural profile of whoever took the contents. Your task is to profile the offender's behaviour — not to name them.
