I recall a conversation a friend had with his college porters around the year 2001:
Porter: "Ah, Mr X. We have received reports of people climbing on the roofs of the college last night. Would that have anything to do with you, perchance?"
Friend: (professes ignorance)
Porter: "You see, if it were an intruder from *outside* the college, that would be a serious matter of which we would need to inform the police."
Friend: "I, uh, don't think there's any need to contact the police."
Porter: "Very good, Mr X."
