Where’s the question? Well, here’s one: The statue was on the park bench seems to have vanished in front of my eyes. Only someone college educated in real magic could have done that. Also, he left behind a hat with the word “wizard” on it. (note: this one is not from their name, but what fictional character their name refers to) ---

**Another clue:** The police said that it was as if the suspect had taken laughing gas, that he could not stop giggling during their interogation. ---

Police noted the extreme oddity of the assault in their report–as if someone had tried to murder the victim, but had apparently been able to do no harm. ---

From the mutilated pictures of Steven Spielberg and torn one-sheets scattered about the crime scene, police could only conclude that the perpetrator deeply regretted having seen “Saving Private Ryan.” 😃 ---
