The Stolen Stereo
At the annual county fair, a car sales agent is on the verge of showcasing a used car to a potential buyer when he discovers that the car's stereo has vanished. This specific car had been stationed in Lot B throughout the day. Visitors, upon check-in, were directed to Lot A for new vehicles or Lot B for used ones. Until a sales agent was assigned to them, visitors were free to explore the vehicles independently. Dive into the clues provided and piece together the information to deduce which of the fairgoers might be responsible for the stereo theft.
