Oops we accidentally destroyed them. We definitely didn’t sell any.
Some years ago my rather small town had to announce that the local government was missing $2M. They told us (about a million times) that it DEFINITELY had not been embezzled by anyone. DEFINITELY not stolen. It was an accounting mistake. The $2M went *POOF*, but -- in case you were wondering -- it was DEFINITELY not embezzled by anyone. No sirree.
