Ruled a Robbery

Here is this week’s prompt, courtesy of C.E. Ayr

“Yes, Chief… It has been ruled a robbery.”

“A robbery! They took a blasted wrecking-ball to the place.”

“Yes, Sir. That is correct.”

“A wrecking-ball!!!”

“Yes, Sir.”

“Did you see the pictures in the news…? It made CNN! … It made Fox News…. And you are going to tell me our line of inquiry is robbery by wrecking-ball?”

“It’s the third one, Sir.”

“The third one… We have a wrecking-ball serial robber on the loose in our city. Can you explain to me how he is getting away? You do know how large the crane is to wield the wrecking-ball?”
