Impounding the Glass Jar
I marched back indoors from the street and took immediate control of the living room coffee table. Right beside a stack of coasters sat a small glass jar containing seven loose, shiny paperclips and a brass key. Unregistered metal reserves sitting completely idle on a private surface constitutes blatant tax avoidance. You cannot hoard durable fasteners and secondary entryway access tokens without paying mandatory municipal custody tariffs. I planted my boots firmly on the varnished wood, set my black briefcase flat against the glass jar to declare it seized property, and inspected every single item inside with rigorous scrutiny.
