Dear Rappers,

Investigative Report

Date: 11.11.2111.

Investigated Item: Washing line.

Item Location: 10 Millennium Falcon Road, Chestnut (normally located in the backyard at the end of the path).

Current Owner:
Middle-aged gentleman, Mr Harry Hoist found the clothesline on top of roof while cleaning the gutter.

Description of Item:

An old-fashioned rotating wire clothesline (approximate date of manufacture, 1949.) that has:

  • a winding mechanism located on the central shaft
  • the first two wires sagging badly in the middle
  • the central shaft made of cold metal and painted black.

Current Problem: Mr Hoist reports that the clothesline keeps relocating to different parts of the property. Every couple of days it grows an extra line, at the last count it had 32 lines. Also, when you approach it with wet washing, it howls and spins at great speed. It has been inspected by a mechanic, who found no problems. Mr Hoist is scared of the clothesline and is keen to get rid of it. He can't dry his washing and he also reports that a green sticky, glowing substance oozes from the central shaft.

Evaluation: An investigation found that the clothesline belonged to a wizard named Steven Fawkings, who mystically disappeared in 1951. He bewitched the clothesline to howl and spin when approached by a stranger.

Recommendation: Send a bogus landscaper in to put a tracking device on the line and send the Retrieval Branch to collect it the next night.

Name of Investigator:
Callan Wetwashing.

Footnote: Inspectors of the Mechanical Branch discovered the green substance was in fact Steven Fawkings' snot!!!!!
