[Sherlock]

Correction - it was brought in, repaired, Angela called, it was picked up - ALL on May 30. It was never at Moul's overnight until Jun 8 unless Angela is correct and it was one of the other white Jeeps that disappeared from Moul's lot.

And Angela said this was important to her.

"unless Angela is correct and it was one of the other white jeeps that disappeared from Moul's lot."

I see you are considering this, Sherlock. I think you are getting a bum rap (how ironic) from varina, if she is including you in her fictional angry mob that wanted to just lynch her dear Richard.

It is an intriguing possibility. Or maybe Rick snowed Angela into believing that the jeep really, really didn't leave Moul's at all until the police came and got it, over 2 wks. after it went in. But shouldn't it be easy enough to determine if the jeep really had several hundred extra miles on it? I bet the police wouldn't have to rely on Moul's word alone for that, I bet there are some other indicators of what its mileage might have been around May 30. For any car that goes into the shop frequently, there usually are. Quickie oil changes, vehicle inspections...

The alternative is that Moul is some really devious, diabolical type who could do all this to help set up Ricci. Of course, then one has to wonder why Moul would bother. We have nothing to show that Moul has been dishonest in the past.
