Was the tram a goods tram?

NO. A normal passenger tram.

Thomas is a homeless man. He needed a place to sleep and outside is obviously not a preferred location. When he saw an empty tram with doors unlocked, he went inside and slept without much thought. He was later scrapped with the tram as no one noticed him.

NO

Did He Drop his wallet?

NO

Was Tom Looking for a possession?

Ehh, are you being sarcastic?
Really, if you were insulted by what I said before, I apologize, but I ask you to understand my position.
Some of your questions in the Mayor case were suspiciously concrete regarding how little was known, but that could have been luck or genius on your side.
Anyway, as long as you have fun with this game, continue to participate.

What? That should be impossible, unless I know you personally, which I doubt (o_0)
Send me a PM with your answer please, I'm curious.

Hmm...what can a man want with a tram? I dare say that this case...

Has gone off the rails.

YEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!

Was the man looking for an actual item?

I have no clue where to go with this one, I'll admit.

Honestly, I don't think it can be solved without further tips. You'd have to know my friends or people similar to them to know where's this is going. Since the scrapped to death-part has been discovered, I'm gonna let this one run for a few more hours and then solve it myself.

So as to give you all a chance to unveil the truth completely, though, I shall drop some a single hint that might help you find the right path:
The tram that was being scraped was one of the last ones of its kind.

Was the man trying to get a specific component?
If so, did this component, that he removed, somehow control the doors to the tram?

theshirn · « **Reply #552 on:** January 31, 2010, 05:36:29 PM »

That hint was a bit strong, I think...

The man went into this tram, one of the last of its kind, attempting to salvage a particular part that was unique to this model. The operator was unaware of the man and gave the order to scrap it.

Well, I guess. But finding that out by yourselves would have been difficult, so it's okay.

YES Now take some last guesses about which part.

Did he want...the license plate?

Or the engine?

NO. Those are on the outside.

Or the engine?

Too big too carry and better to get from the outside as well.

FinnKaenbyou · « **Reply #557 on:** January 31, 2010, 06:18:45 PM »

The steering wheel? A seat?

CASE SOLVED!
Enough details have been uncovered and brought into connection to declare this case as solved. Please wait a bit for
post-game summary.

The steering wheel?

What kind of tram has a steering wheel?

A seat?

YES

Thomas was a tram fanatic.
When he heard that the last trams of a type he liked very much were going to get scrapped, he wanted to get a souvenir.
So, when the tram was prepared for scrapping, he got onto it and decided that he would take home one of the seats.
Because the seats were bolted to the floor, however, he had to kneel down and remove the bolts one after another.
Because he was kneeling, the man in charge of the scrapping didn't see him and began his job.
Poor Thomas got scrapped together with the tram.

Good job on solving this obscure riddle.
As I said, it was created by my friends and is based on real events.
The person Thomas is modeled after does exist, and he is a tram fanatic that likes this kind of tram especially.
Near the end of last year, some of those old trams were scrapped in public and the fanatics got a chance to take home some parts.
But of course, the scrapping-man took care that noone was left inside the tram when he started, and Thomas managed to get a seat safely.
It is now part of the furniture in his flat.
The events in this riddle were a joke my friends came up with after we all saw pictures and videos of the scrapping.

Next riddle will be up in a few hours, it will be from the cards again then.

Fourteenth Case: The Morning
When the woman woke up om a beautiful morning and took a short look outside the window, she killed herself.

And no, she was not in a lighthouse

UncertainJakutten · « **Reply #560 on:** January 31, 2010, 08:17:13 PM »

Was the window reflective?

Was she in her house?

Was she suicidal due to what she saw outside?

Did she see a person through the window?
