I think what Sydney is driving at is this: Somehow, a whole train car full of gold bricks became light as a feather and flew around town, with no one seeing it. First it was in the train car, in the tunnel. Then it mysteriously materialized at the river bank near Ted Tellum’s house. Then it vanished again and somehow appeared on the top floors of a downtown office building in the city, with heavy traffic all around, and even a museum on the ground floor, which means heavy foot traffic as well. I figured that was all part of the mystery element to this story, but for a mystery story to be successful, there has to be an explanation at the end; otherwise, it’s just frustrating. Sydney’s speculation (I think; his wordiness oftentimes throws me) is that there must have been a mastermind behind all of this, that we haven’t seen yet. ???
