OK. Can you clarify which portions of my provided example you disagree with, or which portions need more context or greater granularity?

In the initial example (which came from a website) there was no mention that the break-in took place at night. That detail was added later.

Yes, this is strongly speculative on my part. But it is based on what I have heard from others. I would be extremely interested to hear...
