The mystery of the missing eggs!

Late this afternoon, the Santa Monica police department responded to a 911 call to the Hostelling International Hostel on 2nd Street. Met at the front door by an unidentified British 41 year old caucasian male demanding of passers by "Where are my eggs, dammit?". It emerged later that the unidentified male had visited Vons Groceries the previous day and purchased some Spaghetti, a Pork Sausage, Tinned Tomatoes and 6 Large White Eggs.Upon returning to the hostel, he had neatly marked them as belonging to 'Nigel' and then headed up into the hills for an afternoon bike ride. You can imagine his thwarted hunger when he discovered that the eggs were no longer safely ensconced in the fridge. After a brief, voluble interview he was thrown back out onto the street and was heard muttering, "I was really looking forward to those eggs".
