So was Laura's not sure what that is to prove. Filomena is the one that collected the rent. Her room would also be the one less likely to be seen from the road
I disagree. There is plenty of light from the street lights that shines directly on the side of the cottage housing Amanda and Filomina's bedrooms. The entrance that is invisible from the road is on the balcony.
So Laura's money and things were too good for the burglar too?
