Case of the Proliferate Complimentary Tissues

Location: Amara Shopping Centre Foodcourt

Time: 1300 hrs

Classification: Top-Secret-which-oddly-surprises-no-one

Case Description: During lunch hours on weekdays, complimentary packets of tissue paper will appear on the deserted chairs and tables in this location. Sightings have been reported to escalate to the hundreds. On questioning surrounding witnesses, it appears that the donors of these complimentary gifts are usually anonymous. In addition, the the ravenous lunch crowd waiting to get seats always give the empty seats which bear the gifts a wide berth. Cause of such irrational behaviour is unknown.

Investigative Experiment: One complimentary packet of tissue paper was removed and an undercover agent proceeded to occupy the seat. When this failed to elicit any immediate reaction, the agent removed all 3 complimentary packets of tissue paper from the table. Again observing no reaction, the agent decided to abandon the experiment. Upon walking away however, the agent was accosted by a furious woman carrying a hot bowl of fish soup. Under the impression that his cover had been blown, the agent quickly left the scene, but not before a missile identified as a fishball was launched at his head.

Case Finding: The packets of tissue paper are complimentary but takers are advised to occupy the seat the packet was found on and not walk away. This is believed to forestall unfortunate misunderstandings. Recommended action has the added benefit of easily located seats during lunch hour.

Additional Note: Packets of tissue paper may be substituted with umbrella or mineral water at the donor's will (see File Photo). Finding should nonetheless similarly apply.
