Very nice. I'll keep that one in mind.

I just put a boulder in the doorway, pick up everything I want, and dig
through the floor or zap a wand of digging. Sure the Kops get called, but
no murderer flag for wiping them out and the shopkeeper is trapped in his
store behind the boulder.

Removes the chance of price-identification.

Do that first, if at all. I only use price-ID for a handful of items
anyway.

Massive robbery is more for a general dungeon shop. I leave the minetown
stores alone.

I'll confess, I am Sparticus... er. Stupermon.

I've been using 'greedy' monsters for credit cloning for many years
now, see my old post at
http://groups.google.com/group/rec.games.roguelike.nethack/msg/d88a7816d3a21971
for an example of using that to rob the black market in Slashem, that I
posted back in 1999.

Stupermon is trying to ascend all classes, and has currently finished
Ran Hum Mal Neu
Wiz Elf Mal Cha
Cav Dwa Fem Law
Arc Dwa Mal Law
Bar Orc Fem Cha
out of 12 attempts (not counting the quit when I accidentally requested
a random character instead of a gnomish healer).

and is in the middle of ascending a male gnomish healer.

And the shopkeep gets to keep his money.
