UMVUE for $\theta$ of uniform distribution $\left[ \theta,\theta+1\right]$

Consider $X_{1} \dots X_{n}$ sample from $U[\theta, \theta +1]$.

Let's consider $f_{\theta} = \operatorname{1}(\theta \le X_{(1)} \le X_{(n)} \le \theta +1)$. Now we may say that there is two sufficient estimates.

First question what estimate we should take. $X_{(1)}$ or $X_{(n)}$?

Now let's take the former one. We need to consider $\int_{\theta}^{\theta+1} f(x) n(1+\theta -x)^{n-1} $, easy to see that is completeness estimate.

But the same idea about $X_{(n)}$. But we know that there is exist only one UMVUE.

What should we do here ?
