The Case of the Missing Socks

Tom was a detective who had a knack for solving mysteries. He had solved many cases, from finding lost pets to catching thieves. But there was one case that he could never crack: the case of the missing socks.

Every week, Tom would do his laundry and put his socks in the washing machine. But when he took them out, he would always find that one or two socks were missing. He tried to keep track of them, but they seemed to disappear without a trace. He wondered if there was a sock thief in his building, or if his washing machine had a secret compartment where it hid the socks.
