In case you’re still wondering what happened in this week’s “Miniature Mystery,” here’s the answer, based on true living room events.

The officer was correct. No crime took place in the Herends’ living room. If indeed there had been a robbery, the smart watch and headphones would most likely be gone. Instead of criminals breaking in, amaryllis bulbs grew taller and top-heavy, until they ultimately tipped over, taking out the fragile menagerie of hand-painted porcelain animals. Yes, the evidence was planted.

A wide and weighted base, like the basket pictured above, can prevent the problem.
