Depending on your local codes, running a cable in a return duct may require 
the use of "plenum-rated" cable, which is generally more expensive than 
standard cable.

"Plenum-rated" cable is basically fire proof, or at least fire retardant, and 
will prevent or delay the wire being a path for the propagation of a fire 
trough the ductwork.

You may not be concerned with the authorities breaking down your door in 
search of non-code wiring, but in the unlikely event that your house should 
burn down, and your insurance company should discover the non-conforming 
installation, you might have difficulty collecting any compensation.
