When a character accidentally kidnaps someone else. This can have any number of causes behind it, ranging from honest mistakes and Contrived Coincidences to Alcohol-Induced Idiocy. The accidental kidnapper may not be perfectly innocent either: they may have confused the kidnapped character with their intended target in a case of Mistaken Identity, they may have been trying to commit a different crime such as stealing a car without realizing someone was inside it, or the kidnapping may be the start of a Crime After Crime cycle where the kidnapper is forced to deal with their accidental victim one way or another. Depending upon the personalities of the two characters, they might part quickly and relatively unscathed by the ordeal, but the situation can also end up as a nightmare for both of them. One of the many possible answers to What Did I Do Last Night? and one way for a character to become the perpetrator of an Unintentionally Notorious Crime. Often caused by Stupid Crooks. |

Two examples happen in Law & Order: Special Victims Unit: In the episode "Coerced", a mentally ill man takes a boy from his home after mistaking him for his own estranged son. He's eventually deemed not guilty by reason of mental disease and is sentenced to treatment in a mental hospital rather than jail. In another episode, a young girl is kidnapped from her mother by a woman and bounty hunters who insist they are actually rescuing her, as they believe the girl is actually the woman's missing daughter who was kidnapped as a baby and the woman was lied to that her baby died. The girl's mother finds it absurd since she herself gave birth to her daughter. When the team investigate further, they discover the girl is the kidnapper's genetic daughter, but she isn't her missing child; the two mothers went to the same fertility clinic, and after the first woman completed a successful course of IVF, the dishonest doctor used that woman's leftover embryos to impregnate another woman whose embryos weren't viable. The "missing" daughter, meanwhile, was really Dead All Along, but the woman was in denial and convinced herself that her daughter was only missing in order to avoid facing the truth, and because of this, when she saw the other girl who looked so much like her daughter (due to being her genetic sibling), she became convinced that the girl was her "missing" daughter. |

In the Nancy Drew game “The Final Scene,� this is ultimately why Nancy’s friend, Maya Nguyen, is kidnapped. The kidnapper actually intended to kidnap actor Brady Armstrong and force Brady’s agent, Simone Mueller, to use her Hollywood connections to save an old theatre that was about to be torn down. Unfortunately for Maya, Brady was apparently late coming back from an appointment with his hairdresser, and when Maya walked into Brady’s dressing room, the kidnapper panicked and grabbed her instead. Oops. | |

Manga Soprano: Miki attempts to coerce money out of her brother Kota by kidnapping his future wife Yuko in the middle of the wedding. However, when he and Baccarat come to her rescue, it turned out the "bride" wasn't Yuko, but Baccarat's girlfriend Erica, who is the daughter of the president of Soprano Corporation. Kota then throws her to Baccarat, who makes Miki work as a hostess as punishment. Rina kidnapped Ram and Kairi's daughter Sara mistakenly thinking it was Ray, Alto and Kanade's child. When she carries out her plan of giving her milk to trigger Ray's allergy and spite Kanade, turns out that Kanade had Ray next to her all this time, and Sara told her that Ray is a boy. The families of both kids find out and Rina ends up in prison for attempted murder. |

Better Off Ted: In one episode, Linda is inadvertently drugged and, in a misguided fit of appreciation, steals a baby so she can claim it as her own by writing her name on it. In another episode, Ted regales the demographic he's unpopular with with a tale of how, in his youth, he once accidentally kidnapped a random pig rather than another school's mascot. |

Bones features a serial killer known as the Gravedigger, whose M.O. is to kidnap people, bury them alive, and demand a ransom in exchange for their location. They only intend to take one victim at a time, but if someone else happens to witness the kidnapping, the Gravedigger has to take them too. The first kidnapping is intentional, but the unplanned addition of a second person is not. This mistake happens not once, but twice, to the same killer and within the same episode. | |

In Titus (sit back, cause this is complicated), Tommy's ex-girlfriend came back to town and he wanted to talk with her, only he was limited by a past restraining order. He ran into her car and then in a note claimed that Titus would repair her car for free (owning his own car shop). When she came in Tommy tried to hide, but she ended up seeing him. Panicking, she barricaded herself in Titus' office and tried to call the police, but Dave yanked out the phone line. Titus does a Face Palm and declares that they now have a hostage. | |

A variant is seen in The Baby-Sitters Club. In Dawn and the Impossible Three, Dawn babysits for a very scatterbrained divorcee who constantly mixes up which dates her ex-husband is supposed to have their children. One day when Dawn is watching the three kids, the only boy, Buddy, suddenly goes missing. It turns out he's been picked up by his father, who is supposed to have visitation that day, and taken to an amusement park. When asked why he's not enjoying himself, Buddy explains that he's worried that Dawn doesn't know where he is - at which point the father realizes that his ex-wife isn't even home and that, from the babysitter's point of view, he's just kidnapped his own son. | |

Happens in various fashions at multiple points in It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia: The straightest example of this trope would be, after a critic writes a bad review of Paddy's calling it "Paddy's Pub: The Worst Bar In Philadelphia" (the episode's title), Charlie gets drunk and kidnaps him, leaving the rest of the episode as an exercise in how to release him without legal repercussions. In "The Gang Gets Extreme: Home Makeover Edition", the gang kidnaps a family in a misguided attempt to remodel their house. After destroying their house instead, they have to give Dee's newly-acquired house to the family in compensation. In "The Gang Exploits the Mortgage Crisis", Frank forces the kids of the family resident in the house he just bought to do work in the basement when their parents are at work. Same ending as the last one. |

In season 1 of Arrested Development, Michael gives a Mexican woman a ride thinking that she's his mother's housekeeper, Lupe. She was not. This woman is then disturbed to see red splatter all over the front seat (actually nail polish spilled by Michael's sister), and shovels and a human skeleton in the back (actually taken from an excavation site by Michael's brother). Michael wants to prove that he's a good person by giving this woman a ride, refusing to let her out "too soon" when she becomes distressed by the shovels and "blood spray". She eventually runs away when he stops in the Wetlands, and the episode ends with Michael being arrested. | |

Total Drama: For the wrestling match in "Million Dollar Babies", Chris buys a ball pit from a local carnaval that has neither been screened nor cleaned. A dirty diaper and a full baby bottle aren't unexpected finds, but Duncan also digs up a genuine baby. Chef rushes in to get the kiddo out of the combat zone and presumably back to its parents. To sabotage Team CIRRRRH in "Broadway, Baby!", Heather exchanges their baby carriage holding Noah with a baby carriage holding a baby while the team isn't looking, Noah is sleeping, and the child's mother is distracted by a phone call. Team CIRRRRH take the carriage with them to the finish line and only there realize they've got a baby with them and not Noah. Because they can't win without their full team, Alejandro rushes back and exchanges the baby for Noah just as the mother realizes something isn't right. |

In The Owl House, this turns out to be how Eda ended up with King. She found him as a baby in a deteriorating castle, alone with a speechless creature that immediately attacked her. Understandably assuming he was in danger as well, she took him with her when she fled. Years later, they return, and it's discovered that the creature will only listen to King, and was actually put inside the castle to protect him from intruders. Like Eda. Whoops. | |

Monsters, Inc.: Randall, after bringing Boo's door to the Scare Floor for Sulley and Mike, traps Mike into a box and takes him away after Mike steps into the room and makes him think that he is actually Boo, whom Randall was baiting out. Randall doesn't realize this (even commenting the kid's put on a couple of pounds) until he tips the box over and Mike is the one who falls into the chair. | |

The Legend of Zelda: This is what kicks off the plot for The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker. The Helmaroc King, a minion of Ganon, was under the orders of finding Tetra the Pirate, who is revealed to be Princess Zelda later in the game, but it managed to kidnap several girls with long ears across the Great Sea by mistake. On Link's birthday, the bird mistakenly kidnaps his younger sister, Aryll, after nearly succeeding with Tetra, and his quest to give the bird and its master their much-deserved punishments begins. | |

In an interesting case, Cabot Searcy plans on kidnapping Cullen Witter in Where Things Come Back upon hearing that he had a date with Cabot's ex-wife, but ends up kidnapping his younger brother Gabriel. Upon realizing he got the wrong person, Cabot starts freaking out and saying he's a kidnapper now, so it's likely Cabot was just going to beat Cullen up and drop him back on his front porch or something along those lines. | |

When Andre the Black Nerd showed up for The Nostalgia Critic's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2014) review with The Angry Video Game Nerd, the Critic was distracted on the phone, and absentmindedly directed him to a closet and locked the door. When the Critic discovered him months later, Andre rather cheerfully demanded compensation by forcing the Critic to review The Smurfs with him. | |

In Ghost Trick, the Big Bad's allies Beauty and Dandy were supposed to kidnap the Justice Minister's daughter Amelie in order to force him to carry out Jowd's execution order. In a bizarre twist of fate, Dandy instead grabs Jowd's own daughter, Kamila (who is around the same age as Amelie but otherwise looks nothing like her). While it's argued that a child being held hostage is a big deal no matter what, this turns the situation into a Nice Job Fixing It, Villain scenario by (a) letting Sissel learn Kamila's story first-hand and use it to force Jowd to finally tell the truth about it, (b) giving Jowd a new helping of determination, and (c) easing the Justice Minister's worries James just enough for him to reveal another batch of related information. | |

Anna, it seems, was a mistake, with the contract being arranged by someone else who wants her out of the way. It wasn't. She just was trying to make the experience more authentic than Ray had anticipated, and winds up a very satisfied customer. | |

Rugrats: "Ruthless Tommy" revolves around Tommy being kidnapped by two goons who mistake the Pickles' house for the house of their actual target (due to confusion over the sixes and nines in the street address). They promptly return him to his very confused parents when he makes a mess out of their hideout doing what he usually does in an episode. Another accidental kidnapping happened in "Case of the Missing Rugrat" when Grampa Lou puts Tommy in a luxury car while talking to a man standing next to it. Turns out the luxury car didn't belong to the man and actually belonged to two ugly spinsters. |

White Sheep (RWBY): After the Battle of Beacon, Emerald is on her own and stumbles on some Atlas soldiers. She uses her Semblance to make them think she is Weiss Schnee, the only person she knew they would not harm, and orders them to take her to safety. Unfortunately for her, they call Weiss' sister Winter, who orders them to take "Weiss" home to Atlas, thousands of miles from where Emerald wanted to go. The real Weiss (who was actually kidnapped, albeit by her own father) is rather confused when she returns home to find that all the servants are talking about how she returned a few days ago. When Weiss confronts Emerald, Emerald throws herself on Weiss' mercy. Weiss recruits her as a minion and the two of them are easily able to put Weiss in a much better position in the family than she was before. Also after the Battle of Beacon, Ren collapses in exhaustion in a White Fang camp. He had been running full tilt from a dragon while wearing a White Fang mask to lead the dragon away from Beacon. When the White Fang members find him, they assume he's one of them despite him not being in uniform and not having any obvious Faunus traits. They take him to Menagerie, home of the Faunus, but are happy to let him go once they get there. His team of course doesn't realize he's unharmed, and Blake, Sun, and Ilia charge off to rescue him. A fake example. Atlas sends an AI warship into the Grimmlands to attack Salem's tower, and they kidnap Yang Xiao Long in the process. They claim they had no idea there were any intelligent Grimm and the whole thing is a misunderstanding. Rather than pointing out that this makes no sense (why would they send a battleship if they thought no one was there, and why would they capture someone they found there?), Jaune pretends to believe them and says that this means they can just let their prisoner go, no harm no foul. The Atlas council is left between a rock and a hard place, as the myth of Atlas invincibility means they can't capitulate, but if they don't then Jaune will wipe Atlas off the map. |

The entire plot of Tales of the Abyss kicks off when due to various reasons, a hyperresonance sends The Hero and the erstwhile "kidnapper" halfway across the world, setting in motion the first part of the game: getting one Sheltered Aristocrat and Chosen One back home before things go from bad to worse. | |

In the MacGyver (1985) episode "Hearts of Steel", kidnappers accidentally kidnap the housekeeper's daughter rather than the daughter of a business magnate because the two girls have swapped jackets. | |

Tamriel Rebuilt: The quest "The Prince of Rats" concerns a khajiiti prince and ambassador who's gone missing, with his guards and brother worried that he might have been kidnapped by political opponents. It turns out that missing khajiit is actually of the alfiq furstock and thus physically indistinguishable from an ordinary house cat, which led to him being carried off by a pair of dunmer rat-catchers who wanted a ratter and didn't even realize that he was a khajiit. | |

Early in Burn Notice, Mike gets kidnapped during a bank heist. So a few seasons later when he calls to say he's involved in a hostage situation, everyone assumed he got kidnapped again. | |

The Famous Five: In Five Run Away Together: when the Sticks have invaded Kirrin Island, Edgar falls through the hole in the roof of the cave where the Five are hiding. The Five immediately make a prisoner of him; first with Hand Gagging by Julian, then threatening him with being bitten by Timmy if he yells for his parents. In Five go to Smuggler's Top: Mr Barling intentionally kidnaps Uncle Quentin, but Sooty ends up kidnapped as well, because he happens to see what Mr Barling is doing. This happens in Five have Plenty of Fun. The American girl Berta stays with the Five because she might be kidnapped, and she is disguised as a boy (and makes a more convincing boy than George). When George takes Berta's poodle down to the kennel at night, she is kidnapped, and the kidnappers are sure she is Berta, because she looks like a girl dressed as a boy, and happens to be carrying Berta's dog. |

Phoenix. A safecracker steals a car for his next job, not realising there's a baby asleep in the back. When he realises what happened he rings up Inspector Brennan to return the child. Brennan is furious, given that he's trying to convince the criminal to turn informant and now he's facing a child kidnapping charge, creating unwelcome attention. | |

Near the end of the second Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth game, Sebastian Debeste is kidnapped by two men working for his father, Blaise. They were actually trying to kidnap John Marsh, Justine Courtney's adopted son, in an attempt to get her to acquit Patricia Roland for murder. They kidnapped Sebastian instead because they didn't actually know what John looked like and their only method of checking if they got the right kid or not was to ask him if he knew Justine, which he does. To make things worse, the men told him that Blaise ordered the kidnapping, meaning all he could do until Edgeworth and Kay Faraday found him was sit there and wonder why his own father ordered him to be kidnapped, pushing him to the brink of a mental breakdown. Needless to say, when Edgeworth and Kay track down the location of the kidnapped "John", they're quite surprised to find Sebastian tied up instead. | |

Possible in the Super Smash Bros. event "Enough With The Kidnapping" where both Bowser and Jr. alongside a Boss Galaga that only affects Peach attempt to kidnap her. Nabbit is also a kidnapper and presumably works for Bowser and while he could also, in theory, kidnap Peach herself he could also accidentally kidnap Bowser and his son. | |
