This book inspired serial killer Leonard Lake to abduct women and keep them as slaves. He along with Charles Ng are a farely well-known killing duo, it might be worth noting on this page. Lake gave his plans the name "Operation Miranda", after the character in the book. There is also more of note to it, look it up if you like.
It seems that it also inspired the captor of Natascha Kampusch
- There is no evidence that her captor had knowledge of either the book or the film; and there are even indications that he did not like to read at all. Because there are stark similarities between her abduction and The Collector nevertheless, I left a cautious remark in the German article of de:The Collector.--Keimzelle 21:54, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
