Well, after what happened at my house last night, I will never say that something isn't plausibile in the books. This story would be a little too much I think for a BSC mystery but may be able to be modified. It is scary, though, to think about the girls trying to handle it by themselves. I'm so glad my dad was home and that I wasn't the one outside alone. Here's what happened (this is way off topic from BSC but I had to share. It's just too bizarre!)
I was starting to read this board and my mom had just come in with our mail at about 5 PM yesterday when I heard feet running down our stairs and my dad screaming at the top of his lungs. He had been out in our motor home in the storage barn about 100-200 ft from our house. He was screaming "call the police! There is a crazy man in the barn! A crazy guy is out here and he just attacked me! Call the police and tell them to get here right away!" I got right off the internet, called 911 on my cell and mom called on the regular phone. Finally, a cop came. Dad had gone back outside to make sure the guy didn't get away or get in the horse barn right next to the storage barn. Then the cop just sat there waiting for backup. About 15 minutes later, there were 4 cop cars in our driveway with 5 armed officers facing down our barn. They had guns drawn and started yelling to the guy (he was inside the motor home in the barn) to come out, etc. A few minutes later, I looked out the window to see all the cops on this guy trying to get him handcuffed. Apparently, it took all of them plus using the stun gun 3 times to subdue him. They hauled him off and everything calmed down. Fortunately, he didn't hurt dad except a fat lip and a few bruises.
Here is what had happened... Dad heard screaming outside of the motor home and opened the door to see this NAKED man (wearing shoes) standing there. The guy tried to push past him and slugged him in the mouth and chest. Dad ran out of the motor home and slammed the guy in there. At least that kept him contained.
Come to find out, the guy had escaped from the mental hospital about 50 mi away (don't ask how he got to our house). He really wrecked up our motor home. Broke the door, the stove, destroyed the beds and mattresses, sheets, etc. And we have to treat it like a biohazard situation and have everything cleaned. I am so mad - especially because WE have to pay for all of this because this man isn't responsible for his actions supposedly because he is "CRAZY". Tons of damage but at least no one was hurt.
It was a very freak thing and all I could think is "the girls in the BSC are always handlling everything alone. I wonder what they would have done in this situation."And while this was going on, I was organizing my new BSC books since I couldn’t get on the internet to do anything else I needed to. I guess I’m obsessed
Anyway, this was waaaayyyy off topic but I just had to share. Hope nothing this freaky ever happens to anyone else.

That is really scary. I'm glad your dad (and the rest of your family!) is ok!!
