Re: No Faith in the Moral Standards of the Players as a Group

Thanks, all, for the NY recommendations. Much appreciated. And BTW, I am really annoyed that I can't post here from work anymore.

Here's a different mystery.

A younger Slothrop rode his bike to school today and locked it up with a Kryptonite lock, in a secured (fenced) cage at the school where bikes live during the day. In Spanish class, he had the key to the lock. Then was lunch. After lunch, he realized he did not have the key. He went back to where he had been eating to look for the key, but did not find it. He also went to the Spanish class, but no one had said anything to the teacher. Sans key, he does not get the back, but walks home. Later, I bring him to the school. The bike and lock are gone. So what happened?

It's possible that he both lost the key and someone broke the lock and stole the bank and that the two are unrelated, but it's really unlikely, right? It seems much likelier that someone found the key and then unlocked the bike, no? Was it someone he was eating lunch with, who knew which bike was his? Did someone find the key and then try it on every Kryptonite lock in the cage?

As V.I. Lenin asked, what is to be done?
