Sockman: Wh-where did theyyyy gooo? All my sockssss, p-poof! frantically searches under display tables
Sockman: Ughhhh!!! Why didn't I lock up the storage closet?!? I should've known better! runs back to the storage closet
Sockman: opens the storage closet and finds it completely empty WHAT IN THE WORLD??? Who would even know where to begin stealing so many socks?!
Sockman: This is insane!!! I need to call the police immediately! pulls out phone and dials 911 Hello, this is Sockman. I've had all my socks stolen! Please send help immediately!
Sockman: frantically explains the situation to the 911 operator Yeah, it's not a prank, I swear! Someone has stolen my entire sock collection!
Sockman: Thank you, 911 operator, I'll do just that. hangs up the phone This is going to be a day of reckoning. I need to find those thieves and get my socks back.
Sockman: puts on a determined expression Alright, let's get to work. First things first, I need to assess the damage and see what I have left of my precious sock collection.
Sockman: starts rummaging through his pockets and searching his house for any remaining socks Let's see... what did they leave behind? finds a single sock What the heck? How did one sock end up here? Did someone forget it by accident? Or was it part of the thief's plan to taunt me? Either way, I'm not letting this slide. Time to get to the bottom of this!
Sockman: grabs his keys and heads out the door First stop, my bank. I need to check if there's any surveillance footage that could give me a clue about the thief. I won't rest until I find them and get my socks back!
Sockman: arrives at the bank and shows the security guard the video footage Excuse me, I need to ask a favor. Could you please show me any footage from last night? I'm looking for a thief who stole my sock collection. scans through the footage Bank Teller: Oh, that's quite unfortunate, but I don't think we have any footage of the theft. Our cameras were malfunctioning last night.
Sockman: narrows eyes I see... So, either they didn't think they'd get caught or they knew exactly what they were doing. Either way, I need to keep looking for clues. Next stop, local pawn shops!
Sockman: visits various pawn shops and shows them pictures of his stolen socks Have any of you seen these? pawn shop owners shake their heads No, I haven't seen any of those before. Sorry, Sockman. continues visiting different pawn shops Pawn Shop Owner 1: Nope, sorry. Never seen any of those. But if you find those socks, I'll give you a discount on anything! Pawn Shop Owner 2: Sorry, Sockman, but I haven't seen those socks before. Good luck with your search though.
Sockman: slams fist on the table You know what? I've had enough of this nonsense! If none of you will help me, then maybe I can handle this myself. I'll start my investigation from scratch and find those thieves myself if I have to! storms out of the pawn shop
Sockman: paces back and forth I won't give up that easily! I'll track them down, no matter how long it takes!
Sockman: calls up his detective friend Hey, I need your help. Someone has stolen my entire sock collection and I need to find them. Do you think you can assist me in tracking them down?
