The Pink Panther                        Signal von Muggle

In response to the theft, Chief Inspector Charles Dreyfus of the French police issued this statement: "The Pink Panther diamond is of significant historical value to the people of France and I promise that we will take whatever steps are necessary to ensure it's safe return. It behooves me to announce that I'm sending France's most decorated police officer, Inspector Jacques Clouseau, to Canada to apprehend Signal von Muggle and to ensure the safe return of the Pink Panther diamond."

Inspector Jacques Clouseau

Signal von Muggle has clashed with Inspector Clouseau several times in the past and has always outwitted him. Signal von Muggle considers Inspector Clouseau to be a dimwit and to taunt the Inspector he has left trails of counterfeit diamonds scattered throughout parks around the Western Communities.

Unbeknownst to Signal von Muggle, while disembarking from the airplane at the Victoria International Airport, Inspector Clouseau failed to notice that the airplane staircase wasn't in place yet and he fell to the tarmac breaking his leg. The Inspector is now in traction at Victoria General Hospital. In order to keep his promise to the people of France, Chief Inspector Dreyfus has decided that his only course of action is to bestow any volunteers with Special Constable status to help track down the Pink Panther diamond. Your mission will be to follow the clues that Signal von Muggle has left for Inspector Clouseau and to hopefully capture the elusive burglar and retrieve the Pink Panther diamond. Your investigation will require you to travel around the Western Communities hunting for clues and following trails of counterfeit diamonds that are only visible when a flashlight is shone upon them.

For your investigation you will need to bring your Special Constable kit which should include a GPS unit, a flashlight, and a notebook to record important information. Each container contains a laminated card - be sure to inspect ALL of the information on BOTH sides of the card. Because the trails can be muddy you may also want to bring a pair of appropriate footwear (Inspector Clouseau prefers galoshes). You will have a greater chance at success if you can recruit other Special Constables to join you on this investigation. If you're able to complete the investigation there will be some additional information that you should also gather at the final stage.

Attached below is a letter that Signal von Muggle has sent to Inspector Clouseau's hotel (remember, Signal von Muggle is unaware that Inspector Clouseau is in the hospital). The letter will supply you with the information required to begin your investigation. Bon chance!
