Toronto police essentially closed their investigation into a mysterious tunnel-like cave on Monday, announcing police had identified two men who had built the tunnel for "personal reasons," saying charges would not be laid and the investigation was over.
But though police may have stamped the file 'Case Closed,' members of the public are not quite ready to put the story to rest.
The hashtag #personalreasons quickly appeared on Twitter with users speculating, joking, and even in some cases demanding more information from police.
I feel when TPS asks the public and media for assistance they should respect them enough with the full story. #PERSONALREASONS

Hey Toronto, we just wasted your week with tunnel pressers and calls for help. Ya know, for #personalreasons. Love, @TPSOperations.

There are many valid #personalReasons for tunnelling: poor fashion sense, bad case of acne, needing a little "me-time" #personalTunnelling

I kind of don't want to know what the Toronto tunnellers' #personalreasons were. Compared to my imagination, it's bound to be disappointing.

If only I knew that #PersonalReasons was an acceptable excuse for seemingly criminal behaviour, I may have made rowdier choices. #cdnpoli
