He pockets the leftover $2 and goes home for the day!
He gives his two friends $1, and "$2" to himself. 2 × $1 + $2 ≠ $5

Page 1 and 2 are joined in any book... Therefore pages 401 and 402 are too. The suspect couldn't possibly have hidden anything between them!!!
OK...
You're driving a train...
At the first stop, 2 people get on. At the second stop another 2 get on, but 1 gets off. The third stop lets 4 people on, and 2 off, and the fourth stop sees 5 new passengers and just 2 departures.
At the fifth stop, (getting busy now), 7 people board the train and 6 get off. The next stop is the end of the line.
