I found myself outside a debt collection agency of Scrooge &amp; Marley. Peering through the window I could see a respectable looking gentleman busily working away and so I decided to venture inside to see if I could discover any clues regarding the foul deed.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Scrooge by Ciaran Laval, on Flickr\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ciaran_laval\/15897860791\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/farm8.staticflickr.com\/7554\/15897860791_dd93ec4268.jpg?resize=500%2C294&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Scrooge\" width=\"500\" height=\"294\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately the gentleman was not quite so respectable in his manner once I entered. &#8220;<em>Bah Humbug<\/em>&#8221; he screeched at me, ushering me out of the building and warning me not to meddle in affairs I had no business meddling in.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Prime Suspects by Ciaran Laval, on Flickr\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ciaran_laval\/15278985824\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/farm9.staticflickr.com\/8676\/15278985824_f3ea5a5c69.jpg?resize=500%2C294&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Prime Suspects\" width=\"500\" height=\"294\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Returning to the alley I peered into the distance and spotted some suspicious looking characters. The leader of the gang appeared to be a lady, who was holding court outside, of all things, a blue Police box.
