Policeman: What's the matter here?

Benjamin: Somebody broke into my house in the morning.

Policeman: When did you find out?

Benjamin: About 12 o'clock, when I came home from work.

Policeman: Apparently¹ forced entry. The lock is battered³ to pieces.

Benjamin: I wonder how the burglar did it.

Policeman: He is so unskillful. I have never seen such an awkward burglar.

Benjamin: That's because we have a strong lock.

Policeman: Probably. Let's check the inside then.

Benjamin: Did you find anything?

Policeman: Yes, the house was in a terrible mess. It was almost turned upside down by the burglar.

Benjamin: Oh, er…sorry that's because we didn't have time to clean it.

Policeman: You mean it is not created by the burglar?

Benjamin: Definitely not, sir.
