Trashman

Trashman

Someone’s car was stolen! ” Roxy flew down the alley. A man held a car key. He looked furious. “ How will I get to work now? I paid a lot of money for that car! ” Detective Smith ran over. “ Who stole your car?” Roxy asked. “ Did you see the thief?”

“ No, ” the man said. “ But I saw his truck! ” Detective Smith took out his notepad. “ What does it look like?” “ It’s a garbage truck, ” the man said. “ It says Trashman’s Trash Pickup on the side. ”

Roxy was confused. “ The thief was in a garbage truck. So how did he steal your car?” “ The truck has a big arm with a claw, ” the man said. He held out his arm to show how the claw worked. “ The claw grabbed my car and put it in the back of the truck! ” The man kicked a coffee cup lying on the sidewalk.

“ Trashman stinks at his job. He picked up my car, but he didn’t pick up any of this trash! ” “ Hmm, ” Detective Smith said. “ Maybe Trashman robbed Metro City Electronics too. ” Roxy nodded. “ We should find out. ” Detective Smith looked up the address for Trashman’s Trash Pickup. “ The headquarters is just north of the city. ”

“ I’ll go check it out, Detective! ” Roxy flew off. Moments later Roxy landed in front of a huge building. She went inside and entered an enormous room. Piles of trash surrounded her. Roxy heard a sound. A man was carrying a box at the other end of the room.
