Quote from Captain Stottlemeyer in Happy Birthday, Mr. Monk
Lieutenant Disher: So what are we looking for? Captain Stottlemeyer: I don't know. Somebody threw the guy in a trash compactor. There has to be a reason. How long did he live here? Lieutenant Disher: 11 years. Uh, I got a mouse pad and a surge protector but no computer. Captain Stottlemeyer: And I got a toolbox that looks like some tools are missing. Somebody's been here. Somebody's been eating my porridge.
