I just now recalled--inspired by this article's description of the strangeness of the backpack--that when you dig through the floor of a shop the shopkeeper will sometimes manage to "grab your backpack" as you fall; and you lose most of your inventory. But--I haven't confirmed this--you don't lose the backpack, do you? You can still pick up more items, and I assume if you dig through another shop floor you will again have your backpack "grabbed".

Looking at the source, I can't see any permanent effects of having your backpack grabbed other than losing your items. I'm pretty sure the backpack is one of those items that only exists in flavour text. -- Killian 15:42, 8 September 2008 (UTC)
