Another example: there've been trials of murderers where one piece of evidence was the presence of knives in their kitchens.

I've got large sharp carving knives in my kitchen, but this does *not* make me a suspect in a murder case. But if someone was found in small pieces in my garden, the fact that I own large sharp carving knives would possibly become significant.

(Disclaimer: to the best of my knowledge the only things in small pieces in my garden were left there by cats and harriers. ;) )
