Extended Summary
Steven and Dodge drive in the stolen car and a police car comes from other direction. Police drive past them. It seem as if the car isn’t reported stolen yet. Steven is extremely worried.
Sally and Tom are on their way to pick up Steven and Dodge out in the bush at 7 o’clock.
Dodge and Steven hurries in the car to the spot where Tom will pick them up and they have to pick up the camping gear before Tom arrives too. They come to the spot just as Tom arrives. Steven and Dodge run a bit into the forest and pick up the camping gear and put some dirt on their clothes and faces so it will look as if they’ve been out camping.
Tom notice the deserted car and think it is strange it is standing in that spot. Then Dodge and Steven turn up where Tom and Sally are waiting for them. Steven and Dodge act innocent and Dodge play puzzled and wonder who owns the car across the road (the car he stole).
When they come home Tom phones Bob Barnett and explain to him about the deserted car. Barnett think it must have been stolen and dumped.
Sally wants to sleep in a tent in the Fletchers garden. When she is about to put up the tent she notice the tent pegs are gone.
