The plot thickens

The ribbon headlines on yesterday’s TV news were intriguing. First, they said that rebels had entered Gaddafi’s compound, but there was no sign of Gaddafi. Later, they said that Gaddafi’s golf buggy had been found in his compound.
I’m not sure how much the story is advanced by the second piece of news. I suppose we can conclude that he isn’t at one of Libya’s many golf courses – which narrows the search. All the rebels need to know now is: which of Gaddafi’s recreational vehicles isn’t there? Then they can just comb the area for his toboggan or his skateboard.
Unless of course it’s a double-bluff. He could be roaming a Tripoli golf course in a borrowed (or stolen) buggy. Have they found his membership card?
