Actually, there was an old Infocom cartoon to that very same effect! Appear-
ing in one of their newsletters (I forgot which), there was a guy who was
being handcuffed by the police, holding a sack, a lamp etc...The police were
calling in the case to their headquarters and said something like: "Yeah,
we got him. Breaking and entering, there was blood on his sword...And you
should just SEE the basement!" It was pretty funny...
