Turkish bath mystery:
Icicle hidden in the thermos, then dropped in the bath to melt

Just as I thought, anyways I've got one for you all (it's quite easy though):
Arthur lives with his parents in Chicago.
Last week, while his parents were out,
Arthur's next-door neighbor Sophie came round to spend the evening. At one point, she popped out to buy some cigarettes. Just then,
two men burst into the apartment and, ignoring Arthur, took the TV set, the stereo and a computer. Arthur had never seen the men before, and they had no legal right to remove the equipment, yet he did nothing to stop them. In fact, he didn't even act surprised by their behavior. Why not?

Hmm... Maybe it was because Arthur was asleep? Dunno though.

They had no legal right to get it...  

Anyway, Graff, nice job - heard this one before, I guess?  

Still, another two people have to get it first...

[^Graff]

Actually, I never heard it before.  It just seemed obvious.

The Sophie was a babysitter, and Arthur is an infant.  He was asleep, so he didn't notice

Ok... if he is a baby then why would the babysitter be so irresponsible and step out?

And thus is the puzzle of lateral thinking puzzles - they just click for some people, and others are left wondering what the heck just happened.
