The Mystery of the Missing Tart

Stopped for elevenses this morning, and was perturbed to discover that the remaining half of the apple tart I was looking forward to was gone.

The packet was still there with the lid closed, on the worktop where last seen. But the tart was gone.

The Suspects

1) Mrs Bri - Unlikely, as she was at work, and is wheat-free anyway.

2) A.N. Burglar - Unlikely, the door was locked, and nothing else was disturbed.

3) Nevis 'the Tongue' - possible. Has form (once stole a lamb joint of the worktop, and a chicken drumstick from someone's hand). And has previously climbed onto the table to get to the sugar bowl.

4) 'Hungry' Olllie - possible. Matches previous MO - once ate a freshly baked plum cake off a worktop.

When the two prime suspects were confronted, they BOTH looked guilty.

Before we call in Slipper of the Yard, who is the most likely culprit?
