“That would have been impossible,” said Viola. “No. When the man looked in the backseat, he knew he hadn’t been robbed. Because instead of finding the safe there, he found something else in its place.” The other three looked thoroughly confused. Viola smiled. “Do you have any idea what it was he found?”

Woodrow shook his head. “The only thing I can think of would be a giant hole!”

“A hole?” said Sylvester. “But how?”

“Viola said the car was rusted,” said Woodrow. “If the safe was heavy enough, I can imagine that any serious bump might have broken the floor away. The safe could have fallen out on the highway, and the couple might not have noticed.”

“Strange but true,” said Viola sadly.

“Oh no,” said Rosie. “That’s terrible!”

“Panicked, the couple backtracked the way they’d come, looking all over for the safe that had fallen through the hole in their car. But it was nowhere to be found.”

“Maybe someone picked it up,” Rosie suggested. “Maybe they’ll come forward with it. Maybe your mom’s article will help the couple locate the safe. And the ticket.”

“Whoever found it would have to be an especially good Samaritan,” said Woodrow.

“That’s what everyone at the newspaper hopes,” said Viola.

Rosie shook her head. “And to think, if they’d just stuck the ticket in an envelope and put it in the glove box, they’d probably be totally rich right now.”

“Just goes to show that sometimes you can be too safe,” said Sylvester.
