Just the fact that they exists doesn't stop people from committing crimes, it only changes the way how people commit them.After a famous assassins hides his signature weapon in the manor of a highly ranked noble what happens? Does the lowly cleric accuse the noble of harboring or -being- the assassin. Does the lowly cleric turn the manor upside down searching for the weapon? Does the noble get falsely accused, condemned and punished for the assassin's crimes, only to have the assassin reveal later on that it was actually he. Does the lowly cleric get kicked out of the church hierarchy for harassing the noble?Locate Object as a failsafe tool against crime would quickly become suspect.Using lead-lined boxes to hide items would be just as common as wearing gloves to prevent leaving fingerprints.</blockquote>
