She went into the school and found the box and the lid. They were still on the table. Cam looked at them carefully, to see if they matched the picture she had in her head. They did. Cam grabbed the box and the lid. She ran outside and gave them to Officer Feldman. “That isn’t the shoe box Ms. Benson left on the table,” Cam said. “It’s a sneaker box, a size ten sneaker box.” “And I didn’t wrap the whole box in tape like that,” Ms. Benson said. “I taped it neatly, along the sides.” “Whoever stole the money,” Cam said, “switched the boxes.” “Did you see anyone come into the school with this box?” Officer Feldman asked Sara and Danny. They both said they hadn’t. “So,” Ms. Benson said, “we know when and how the money was stolen. What we need to know is who did it. If we knew that, maybe we’d get the money back.” Officer Feldman took the sneaker box and said, “That’s true, but we do know a few things about the thief.” “The thief,” Cam said quickly, “is a boy with a new pair of blue, size ten sneakers.”
