The Midnight Roofer and the Mysterious Skyplast

A man from a small town in Nyandarua was arrested by police and arraigned in court a few days later, accused of stealing iron sheets and a Skyplast drum at night. Given the opportunity to defend himself, the man explained that the owner of the house he allegedly stole from was demolishing it and had hired him to remove the iron sheets. He claimed that because it was too hot to work during the day, he had opted to do the job at night when it was cooler. The court erupted in laughter😂😂.

The judge then inquired about the drum. The man stated that he had owned the Skyplast drum for a very long time and, to prove it, suggested that someone visit his house and try to remove it; it wouldn't fit through the door. A police officer was dispatched to verify this claim and returned with video evidence clearly showing that the drum could not be removed through the doorway. Everyone was left wondering how the man could have stolen the Skyplast and gotten it into his house in the first place. The judge, with no other option, was forced to release the man.

I happened to know a friend of the alleged thief and asked him how it was done. While the man was in police custody, his son had demolished the doorway to their house and rebuilt it, making it smaller by adding a timber frame😂😂.
