> This also reminds me of my other favorite old detective board game, a game called Stop Thief! that came out back in the '80s. It had an electronic doohickey that made a sequence of noises indicating whether the thief had walked across a floor, opened a door, broken a window, taken the subway, and so forth. Lots of process-of-elimination thinking involved. Anyone else remember Stop Thief!, or have a working version they'd be willing to sell?

That was such a cool game! I only played it once, back when I was visiting relatives in Texas. Fun game. I think the doohickey was shaped like a cordless telephone, with a large keypad you entered your piece's movement into. If I remember correctly, when you were close to the thief, you could hear him walking, but anyone could hear any alarms or windows breaking.

I had completely forgotten the name of that game, thanks!
