Yes.  Many times PC-type boxes holding back doors merely by their sheer mass, and in one case a Sinclair ZX-80 by virtue of its perfect wedge shape.

Carjacking or impoundment? We now have two vocabularies for wrongs, depending on whether private persons or government agents commit them. This is the difference between mass murder and national defense. Between extortion and taxation. Between counterfeiting and inflation. And so on. Other examples will occur to the astute reader.
