Nothing like weighing in 11 years after the original comments but better late than never.
Before Strawberries came out there was a story in the UK press about a guy who had escaped from prison and was hiding out at home; whenever anyone came to the house he would disappear into a hidey-hole under the floorboards beneath the sofa. The police had searched the house a number of times without finding the entrance and eventually people assumed he'd disappeared for good.
If I remember rightly the cover was blown when a visiting school friend of his daughter saw a face under the sofa and told her parents hence the "who was the girl we saw last night" line.
Again this may be unreliable memories but I think he was relieved to hand himself in because although not in prison he was effectively serving a life sentence in his own home and could never go out with his family or see his friends
