Letter to the editor
The warning was there before the burglar
A reader has a question about which part of the mattress is now the evidence.
To the editor: The label on a mattress has always seemed to require more attention than the mattress. Now the label is gone and the police would like us to leave the mattress alone.
Mr. Gai says the missing government warning is the important part. The department says the unauthorized entry is the important part. I would be grateful if one of them could explain whether I am allowed to go to bed.
Editor’s note: The department’s notice concerns preservation of the affected area. Mr. Gai’s interpretation is published separately. The Tribune has not issued instructions for sleeping.
