Was there a theft?

Just to clarify this point: Was a theft planned? (As in, not completed?)


When you say "nobody answered", does this mean nobody picked up?
Or, someone picked up but didn't say anything?

Was he calling someone he knew?
A friend? Family member?

Cassiebsg

Did he ring from the phone at the scene of the crime?  (roll)

Does he call from a pay phone?
Does the call go to an answering machine/voice mail/automated phone tree or similar?
Does the call transmit information over fax, modem, or something like that?

Is it a violent crime?
Is the crime an attempt to obtain money (or something of monetary value) illicitly?*
Is the fact that he knew the phone number an incriminating thing about the call?

* Man, it's hard to express that idea concisely in English! In Norwegian it's a single word: vinningskriminalitet ("crime for gain")

Riaise

Had the crime taken place very recently before the call was made?
Was somebody supposed to answer when he called?

CaptainD

Would the crime have occurred even if he hadn't made the phone call?
