Must be the first case I ever heard of a cleaning lady actually taken the
blame for wrecking a model. A rara avis indeed!

Usual excuses are:
-The thing was like that when I arrived
- I haven't touched it and it fell all by itself.
- It was the cat
- Which model are you talking about?
- Oh. That toy airplane?

But usually they leave the crime scene without uttering a word, it's only
later that one finds the "corpus delicti", spread nicely on the shelf, desk
wherever it may have been, but converted in an incomplete collection of
parts and shreds.

I hope you haven't charged anything for the repairs, but you may have
summoned her about being an irresponsable, careless, bad cleaning lady, and
that it wouldn't be that first time that Vinnie has to send a cleaning lady
to sweep clean the river bottom wearing concrete shoes.
