The mother of a friend of mine used to claim that people had broken into her
house and stolen whatever items she could not find.  When later she would
find them, she would swear that the same people had broken into her house
and replaced them.

We used to get a lot of laughs over this, but after reading Ritchie's piece,
I see that she might have been right.
