   Of course! It is a good idea to shoot everyone who has forgotten to return your lawn mower! They will SO remember next time!

   Hmm… now that reminds me… my neighbours haven’t returned that bowl I once gave them strawberries in. What kind of crime would be suitable for a bowl? It’s a lot smaller than a lawn mower so I guess murder is out.

   He could have offered him some bbq and gotten his lawn mower back. Nobody can turn down good bbq.

   I love the motive, but I don’t think the whiners will understand that Werner wrote that just to screw with them.
   Anyways, the solution is no good (again). The time frame goes: victim shot, found, police called, waiting for CSI guy, interviewing four other neighbours first – that is easily more than an hour. So the BBQ guy could be innocent – he really could have come home long after the shot and still would have had more than enough time to fire up the BBQ.
   So all we have is that he says “ten minutes”. That can’t be true, of course, but maybe he just doesn’t realize how long he has been at it already.

   Pretty risky move – guys who don’t return lawnmowers are usually survivalists with bunkers and an armory

   @RackDaddy

   But why should he give something more to get something back he allready owned?

   At least an hour? That’s some slow burning charcoal.

    Then why continuing to interview the rest?

    I solved this yesterday … but the motive was pretty lame. Murdering over a borrowed lawnmower?!?!?!?!?!?

    No. No. No. No. No.

    Even now you don’t have diddly, you only have proof— if that— that the barbecuer was home at the time of the murder. You still have the job of placing him at the crime scene, placing the gun in his hand and so on. About that “ten minutes”— when you’re barbecuing you’re not necessarily watching the clock all that close. If you and your family are having a good time half the day may go by and it seems like “ten minutes”.

    Remind me not to move to Inspector Danger’s neighborhood. They murder each other over loaned lawn mowers. I’d hate to see what happens if you borrow a snow blower.

    The gardener would still be a suspect too, under this reasoning. Go back and look: Do you really believe he dug all that up in only fifteen minutes from the time he got home? Consider: You park the car, go inside to get your work clothes, go to your garage/toolshed and get your shovel and start digging. Just the prep takes most of that fifteen minutes and I see a lot of ground has been turned. So, both the gardener and the barbecuer have been home long enough to have heard the gunshot—- but that’s all that can be proved with just that.
