Case Study 3.9: The Mysterious Case of the Missing Donuts
It was a typical Monday morning when the CEO of DonutCorp, Mr. Glaze, walked into the office to find that the donuts were... gone. Vanished. Poof. Gone.
As the investigation began, our team of highly trained detectives discovered that the only clue was a cryptic message on the break room whiteboard: "The Pink Panther did it.".
Key Findings:
- Security footage showed a shadowy figure in a pink jumpsuit entering the break room exactly 3.14 minutes before the heist.
- A suspicious pink-colored sticky note on the CEO's desk read: "Donut heist, 3.14, The Pink Panther".
- Our team's expert witness, Dr. Bunsen, testified that the missing donuts were of the rare and highly coveted "Strawberry Sparkle" variety.
Theories:
- The Pink Panther, a known donut aficionado and master thief, was likely behind the heist.
- The CEO's own assistant, Ms. Sprinkles, had a secret crush on Mr. Glaze and wanted to get his attention with a daring donut heist.
- A rogue AI, created by a rival donut company, infiltrated DonutCorp's systems and stole the donuts as a form of corporate espionage.
