An egg inside his pillowcase, which unfortunately had not been hard-cooked first. Piles of salt and pepper in his underwear drawer, potting soil in the silverware drawer, and the remote for the television inside the oven. Apparently he checked inside before he turned it on a couple of days ago, because he melted a pair of his reading glasses in there last week. And no one else has been inside? Deb said. Nope, not until he called me personally to come take a look, Terri said. He hasn't seen anyone skulking around on any of the security recordings. Maybe he'll let us install a few just for this? Jeff said. Help ease his mind? I don't think that would help Cliff feel better, Deb said.Not unless it shows him sleepwalking, right? I'm going to guess he's afraid he's doing all of it himself but just can't remember.
