A woman named Cathy goes to the police claiming that someone broke into her house and stole her diamond bracelet while she was at work. The policemen investigate the crime scene and notice that the bedroom window is broken. There are muddy footprints all across the bedroom floor. However, the room is otherwise neat and organized. The following day, Cathy is arrested for fraud. Can you figure out why?

Cathy's story doesn’t add up because of one major inconsistency:

If a burglar broke the window to enter, then the broken glass should be inside the room, but the police would likely have noticed that. However, if the glass was found outside, it means the window was broken from the inside—suggesting Cathy staged the break-in.

Additionally, while there are muddy footprints on the floor, the rest of the room is neat and organized. A real burglar would likely rummage through drawers and make a mess looking for valuables, not leave everything in perfect order.
