If that response is not satisfactory, then what would be? I was at the Leo Sayer concert - here are my ticket stubs? The cat stepped on the keyboard again? Must have been my little brother when he stayed over? My son had some friends around? Someone stole my wireless? Must have been the cleaners?

What proof do you need to provide to clear your name?
