Making Logical Assumptions Based on Pictures

One day I came across a very interesting picture, the sense of which remained a mystery to me. What could that little girl have done to make the policeman chase her? You can see how diligently she is trying to escape from the pursuer; most likely she may have done something very terrible. So what could this little criminal have done?

Let`s begin with the weather, true villains must know that the weather makes up 50% of success. The weather may be warm and very comfortable, as the girl is wearing light clothing, unlike the policeman. He could overheat and lose consciousness. The place is also very suitable for escape. For the real villain asphalt can`t help to hide, but the beach can. The sand must be hard to run, so the policeman might fall behind later. Conclusion - the girl must have planned her crime before, as she has chosen right time and place. Policeman might have been chasing the girl for quite a long time, look at his tired face. But the girl is full of energy, her facial expression tells us that she can`t lose. She may be even picking up speed, leaving the policeman to swallow the dust. But still, why is he keeping chasing her? Little girls can`t steal money from banks or shops, they are too young for that things. She could have stolen something tiny like jewels, children are very nimble creatures. However, if it had been something expensive there would be more policemen chasing her. Probably it may have been a crime against this policeman. Everybody knows children love sweets. And every self respecting policemen might be addicted to donuts; here the picture starts to come together. The girl must have snuck into the police station or police car and her aim was donuts. She may have eaten them right in front of the stunned policeman. Then she might have smiled at him and jumped out of the window on someone’s car, while making a flip. The frightened guardian of law just managed to pop out of the window when the girl was already hiding behind the bend. The chase must have been supposed to start here.

And don`t even think to persuade me. Right in front of you is a terrible elusive criminal, and who knows what she might do next.
