More Riddles for those who like their brains to be teased!

Riddles are fun and although I posted some riddles in a previous post. I thought these might also be entertaining, answers will be posted at some point..... (Disclaimer: I didn't create any of the riddles myself.)

Riddle 1: One night, a man receives a call from the Police. The Police tell the man that his wife was murdered, and that he should reach the crime scene as soon as possible. The man drops the phone, shocked, and drives 20 minutes to the crime scene. As soon as he reaches the crime scene, the police arrest him, and he is convicted of murder. How did the police know that he committed the crime? 

Riddle 2: At night they come without being fetched. By day they are lost without being stolen. What are they?

Riddle 3: Why is a raven like a writing desk?
 

Riddle 4: What is as big as you are and yet does not weigh anything?
 
Riddle 5:
Which is the word in English that has nine letters, and remains a word at each step even when you remove one letter from it, right up to a single letter remaining. List each letter as you remove them, along with the resulting word at each step.
