-When [[glass]] objects in a [[bag]], [[large box]] or [[chest]] break, other than fake [[gem]]s, [[you]] might hear a '''muffled shatter'''.  An [[egg]] gives a '''muffled cracking''' when it breaks.  You will lose that object and will not know what it was.

-==Fake gems don't break==
-Prior to [[NetHack 3.2.0]], a popular technique for identifying fake gems was dubbed "kickboxing":  one would gather a large pile of gems, name ''all'' of them "fake red" or whatever color, dump them in a box, and then repeatedly kick the box until no more muffled shatters were heard.  One would then retrieve the remaining gems and un-name them.  In this way, the fake gems of all colors could be identified.
-Starting with [[NetHack 3.2.0]], fake gems no longer break.  Thus "kickboxing" no longer works.
