Ok, I'm having a bit of a hard time picturing this, so let me try and get it straight...<br/><br/>First off, how big is the crate?  And how close to the stairs down is it?  Do the footprints look like someone actually went into the crate, or just walked past it?  And how many footprints are there, and are there any other marks (i.e. drag marks) with them?
