* Whenever the two detectives in ''The Jigsaw Murders'' go see the photographer whom they (rightfully) suspect of being the killer responsible for bodyparts turning up around the city, they have to chase away two guys trying to break into their car. This has dramatic consequences later on as they succeed on a third try and steal their radio, which forces the main character to confront main villain by himself.
