What are some of the tricks being used today?

Ten minutes after I left the open house on Sunday, I received a call from an officer at the Carlsbad Police. Someone reported bones in the backyard, and he was investigating whether they were human or animal bones because it was suggested that someone might have been murdered.

He called back later to say that the coroner identified a photo as animal bones, and the seller confirmed that his mom would occasionally leave a soup bone in the yard for the neighborhood cats.

My question? Why didn’t the person who called the police ask me about it first?

Could it have been a deliberate attempt to derail the sale? It was hotly contested – we received five offers!
