Mysterious Thief
Situation
Situation puzzles (sometimes called lateral thinking puzzles) are ones where you need to ask lots of yes or no questions to figure out what happened in the situation. These are good puzzles for groups where one person knows the puzzle and answers the questions.Situation

Hint
The "jury" isn't an actual jury. ;)Answer
The man is a base runner on a team in a baseball game.He stole a base, then ran to the next base without taking the base with him, of course.

The man went HOME (to HOME plate) without being arrested, of course.
