The suggestion that an individual stole a child in the circumstances described by the McCanns and their friends is incredible in itself
To further suggest that an attempted burglary also occured within that 45 minutes ( as a way of explaining the open window ) takes us beyond the incredible and into the realms of fantasy
I am not suggesting that an attempted burglary took place. There is no indication of that as far as we know. But it is a possibility that some of the break-ins in the block are in some way connected with the Madeleine case. Scotland Yard certainly seem to be keen to get as much information about them as possible.
If your child went missing around the same time there were a large number of intruders known to have been operating in the street, wouldn't you expect police to look into their being some kind of connection? Seems pretty basic to me.
As for it being incredible that Madeleine could have disappeared in the circumstances described by the McCanns, we are back to semantics. Yes, it does sound incredible. However, any alternative account has got to be just as incredible, or perhaps even more so, by definition, as an incredible occurrence, namely the complete disappearance of a person, has taken place.
Do you think that if and when we finally get an explanation as to what happened that night and what has happened to Madeleine in the interim it will be something run of the mill? What simple, logical explanation could there be for a person vanishing off the face of the earth without trace?
