"How did it happen?"

Richmond dashed out of Hazel's apartment building to meet a woman who had reported yesterday that her car had been stolen by a foreign man.

This morning the woman found her car parked in front of her apartment building. Then a mail courier gave her a medium-sized envelope without a clear sender's identity. At first she was afraid to open the envelope. Especially after her car was stolen by a man whose identity the police suspected as Calvin McAdam. Throughout the day she became very scared and just hid in her apartment while watching a movie to get rid of her boredom. But suddenly this morning she had to get out of her apartment.
