Was it his bed in that he owned it? or his bed in that it was the bed he slept in (like "his bed at the homeless shelter") Was it an actual bed, with a mattress? sheets? blankets? a pillow? or was it a bed only because he slept there? (a piece of cardboard? a pile of scrap fabric? a pile of straw?) Are search dogs relevant? | ||

Did he want to avoid being sniffed out by search dogs, because then the police might find him? Was there something hidden in his bed he didn't want the police to find? | ||

since he is a criminal, has he escaped from jail? is it his bed in jail in which he has put manure? | ||

Did he use horse manure because it was handy? because he was in an area where it would be a common scent? Had he been given permission to sleep in the bed? or had he broken into a home or other place to sleep and was aware that the break-in would be noticed soon, and connected with him? Or did he hope that the manure would prevent him being connected with the bed at all? | ||

* * * SPOILER * * * Bodo wrote: Was he planning an escape? And didn't want to leave behind any scent for tracking? Correct. He was planning to make a prison break that night. He knew that tracker dogs would be used to pursue him and that they took the scent from his bed. He took manure from the prison gardens and rubbed it into his bed and clothing so that the dogs would not have his scent. It is based on a scene from the TV Series Prison Break (which is great). |
