Seeing What Others Don't

This book has stories of insights.  It explore from news worthy sources where insights produce Nobel prize, save lives, saving one's own skin and catching a car thief.  The first story is the one I remember best.  A police car come to a stop at red light.  Beside it was a brand new BMW.  The driver was smoking.  He then casually drop the cigarette ashes onto the seat.  The police saw and look away.  Then a sudden thought came his mind.  Which owner of a new BMW would do this?  If the car was lend to a friend which friend will casually dropped cigarette ashes on the sea?  Something incongruous.  So they stopped the BMW and found it was just stolen.  I like this story.
