Illustration for the riddle “Returned Like New”

Halloween Night · ★★★

Returned Like New

On 1 November 400 costumes come back to the hire shop: torn, stained, always with something missing. One arrives by post, without a note, washed and pressed and as good as new, and its customer will never claim his deposit. The owner sets it aside and calls the police. Why?

Where do you start?

Read the scene again and separate the facts from your assumptions. With a narrator who knows the answer, ask one question at a time. They answer yes, no or irrelevant.
