The burglary
Laura pushes open the carved wooden front door and leads them inside
her house. It's cool and quiet, with tiled floors, spiky-looking plants
in pots, and rugs glowing with warm colours and patterns. Laura throws herself onto a comfy couch in the living room.

"Something was taken last
night, but mom doesn't want anyone to know!"
|

|
"She said the burglars were disturbed. Were
they?"
|
 |
"Let me guess. They weren't disturbed. They took
something valuable to our investigation."
|
 |
"Right."
|
 |
"Not Jeremiah's old tin box? Now we'll never get
to see it."
|
 |
"No - the box is still in my room. But someone went
through my things to find it."
|
 |
"Yuk, that's creepy!"
|
 |
"Yes - and it doesn't make sense. They only
took one thing out of it!"

What do you think was stolen?
Jeremiah MacKenzie's letter
The damaged skull
The Aboriginal bullroarer
The Shaman's rattle
