I agree. Besides, he was of the opinion, wasn't he, that there's nothing new
under the sun...it's all be done before? Take the "heist" movies for example.
The Sting, Out of Sight, Goodfellas, Heist, Ocean's 11, etc. etc... they all
deal with the same thing - robbery/con or a series of simultaneous cons. All
that varies is the amount of money stolen.

PS: I just happened to watch these movies in the past month almost
consecutively...

Dear Sherlockians,

I am afraid I am running a bit late, but in response to Sumal's suggestion
regarding Holmes's attachment to the seven percent SOLUTION, it may be mentioned
that during the 1890s, even until the 1920s, cocaine was internationally not
considered to be an illegal drug. As the detective needed to focus 'intensely'
on certain topics during his investigation, cocaine, by making him somewhat
oblivious to the surroundings and daily petty happenings, helped him to
concentrate.

I have this probably wierd idea that Holmes's fondness for implements for
bruglary and his interest in the modus operandi of several anti-social
activities were instrumental in giving him the most precise ideas about how
criminals in similar situation would have worked.
