The Missing Rug
August 4, 2008
A University of North Carolina Tarheels throw rug went missing from the house, a vacant 1960’s-style home that was being renovated for sale. Tara, the owner of the rug-and house-interrogated the contractor. A finger-in-face and spitting-and-hissing interrogation. The contractor vouched for his men-all good people, he said-but promised to talk to each of them, and suggested that she may talk to the realtor in the meantime. Tara dismissed the suggestion, the realtor, she said, was respectable.
