Interesting hypothesis. It reminds me of my childhood:

When I was a teenager, like many teenagers, I liked to drink. Unfortunately for me, my father disapproved of teenagers drinking; perhaps once every week or two he would count all of his beer bottles to ensure that I was not sneaking any. There were gaps in his accounting, but I never knew exactly when he would account for them.

What was I to do? I devised a simple scheme:

1) Steal a bottle of beer.

2) Drink i^W^W no no, hide it. Hide it in the back of the fridge, or in the pantry.

3) Wait two weeks. [If during step 3 the absence of the beer was discovered, goto step 3a. Otherwise goto step 4]

3a) "What are you talking about Pops, your beer is right here behind the radishes." [goto step 1]

4) Glug glug glug.
