The Hardy Boys: The Hidden Theft Hints
How can I open the vent inside the thief's "hideout"?
1 of 14: The vent is screwed into the wall. What's the easiest way to remove screws?

3 of 14: Look around absolutely everywhere you can to find a screwdriver.
4 of 14: You won't find it at the mansion or its surroundings.
5 of 14: Have you visited the high school yet?
6 of 14: There's a utility room at the school.
7 of 14: And inside it, a red toolbox on the floor near the boiler that Mark is repairing.
8 of 14: Inside, you will find a flat-head screwdriver. Let's try it with the vent.

11 of 14: Or, a utility shed.
