"In The Great Mouse Detective, a Mouse World version of Sherlock Holmes, the combination of three substances on a piece of paper are used to pinpoint a villain's hangout, the only bar (brandy) located where the sewer (coal dust) meets the river front (salt water). It could of course have been dropped by a coal deliveryman who'd treated himself to a Quick Nip and bought a bag of chips on his way home from work, but hey."
It helps that: They'd seen it dropped by the bad guy's chief assistant; and it had a list of items that they knew the assistant had been collecting. (The second to last item was when he dropped it.)
