==Plot==
==Plot==
One summer day, D.W. and [[Arthur]] go swimming at the local pool. D.W. soon becomes bored, as Emily is eating lunch, and the Tibbles are putting on suntan cream. D.W. wishes something would happen, and coincidentally, it starts to rain. Everyone leaves in a hurry, and they grab their backpacks. D.W. soon realizes her backpack has been misplaced, and she thinks someone stole it.

The backpack she has belongs to someone named "OM_BLE". D.W. is concerned because all of her important stuff was in her backpack. Her glitter, her Mary Moo Cow doll, and her Crazy Bus cassette tape.

D.W. also thinks that Omble flies around in a blimp, looking for backpacks to steal. After he steals one, he leaves an ugly backpack in its place. Emily tells D.W. that she needs to find out more about the items in Omble's bag. D.W. takes it to Brain, and he tells her that the first item is a clay sculpture of the Eiffel Tower. D.W. wants to bike to France to catch Omble, but Arthur says she can't, so she goes to Buster, who's been to France. Buster says it is the Eiffel Tower, and when D.W. asks about the so-called fang hiders, Buster says he has never seen them in France. They go to Sue Ellen, who says they are panpipes, an instrument from the Andes, a mountain range in South America. She also says that the snow-globe is a souvenir from the Great Wall of China. D.W. concludes that Omble has been everywhere.

Arthur and D.W. bike to the pool, because D.W. believes that the criminal returns to the scene of the crime. D.W. asks the pool cleaner if he knows Omble, which he obviously doesn't. She then observes the Crosswire Blimp, thinking it is Omble's. She notices someone running away, thinking it is Omble. It turns out to be just the Tibbles, who are playing in the mud. D.W. then tells Arthur that she really wants to meet him, because he sounds like an interesting person.

The next day in preschool, the Tibbles show D.W. their clay sculpture of the Leaning Tower of Pisa, and they're building the monuments of the world. It is revealed that Tommy has D.W.'s backpack, and she gives him his backpack. D.W. says that "None of this would have happened if you have written your name on it instead of Omble." They learn that some of the letters have rubbed off, and it really said "Tommy Tibble". Tommy then says that his mom got him the snow globe, and the panpipes are for his folk music lesson. Emily then comes to the pool on her bike, revealing her beret has been misplaced. Instead of her name, it says "Dry Clean Only". D.W. then says she will find the culprit.
