Tinker muttered a few words concerning the intruder's behavior, still believing him to be some sort of trickster magician, and went down to meet the police. The police searched the place from top to bottom and took her statement. They took special interest when she told them of how the fellow had threatened to burn down her historic old house, which was currently full of flammable materials like paint, paint stripper, and other stuff needed to refurbish an old house. If her house went up in flames, the houses on either side were bound to catch fire, as well. They promised to put out an APB and went out to keep patrol.
