Sumiki won again!

 

Answer: The police put up a sign warning people about pickpockets. When people looked though their pockets and bags for their valuables because of the sign, the criminals knew exactly where those items were so they could steal them.

 

Rules:

  1. Don't share answers with each other, even answers you know aren't right. Doing so will get you disqualified for that round. This also applies for stealing another person's answer when you didn't come up with it yourself.
  2. You may, however, share theories. If you come up with an answer with the help of another contestant, make sure you mention that you did so, and who that was so I can give them credit.
  3. Each round, I will post the clues that correspond with that puzzle in a spoiler tag, assuming there are clues. Yes, there are some with no clues. Deal with it.
  4. If you have heard some of these puzzles before (Rockhound and Robo, I'm looking at you), out of courtasy to the other contestants please don't share the answer to others.
  5. There are no prizes for winning, save bragging rights.
  6. If you believe you have the answer, post it in spoilers in the comments. Share theories through IM, PM, whatever floats your boat.
  7. You will have one week from the posting of the new puzzle to solve it. Afterwards, the blog entry will be locked.
Puzzle: During the German advance and occupation of France in WWII, how did some French resistance fighters booby-trap rooms in a way that put Germans more at risk than French people?

 

Clues:

  • The boody traps depended on a likely action that Germans might take.
  • Germans have a reputation for being well-organized, neat, and tidy.

Go!

I think I know the answer--may have seen it on the History Channel once. :P

The French rigged crooked pictures with explosives so that when the Germans came into the houses and straightened them, they would detonate. The Germans, as you said, had a reputation for being neat, and couldn't stand the sight of crooked pictures.

I could be totally off (I probably am *lol*), but I saw the riddle and decided to post just 'cause I'm a WWII history geek. :P

They left bombs lying around and when the Germans tried to clean up they would BLOW UP.
