* ExactWords: When the cop shows up, Rebecca suddenly becomes very cautious about not saying anything technically untrue (presumably because she knows how serious lying to a police officer can be). She says the window "was like that when I got home", without giving a specific time, and then pivots to pointing out that there's no evidence of an actual break-in, and it's not worth the officer's time to pursue, all of which is true, though she's leaving a lot out.
