The preferred method a Street Urchin uses to acquire stuff — since they're too poor to afford it legitimately — is to sneak it out of their mark's pocket and/or into their own. A Rebellious Princess sometimes does this for the sheer thrill of it, or because they honestly believe they don't have to pay for anything; expect some kind of Freudian Excuse to come into play. The Kleptomaniac Hero also does this to anything that isn't nailed down and/or can be sold for money. Someone with Sticky Fingers does it merely because they want or are compelled to. When this is done to a retail establishment, this is known as shoplifting. The distinction between shoplifting, burglary and robbery is that a shoplifter enters the store when it's open and sneakily conceals an item on their person; a burglar breaks into a closed store to steal items; and a robber goes into the store and steals with violence (or threats). In Real Life, shoplifters range from impoverished people who steal food to eat, to middle-class Suburbia teens doing it as a prank, to career criminals who do it methodically using accomplices to distract staff and aids like baggy clothes. Ballistic Discount is a subtrope that adds murder to the ensemble and will likely get you killed if you should ever try it in a real gun shop. Percussive Pickpocket is a method of invoking this trope where the theft is disguised as a harmless bump on the street. See also Video Game Stealing for the game mechanic. |

Hanna and Mona from Pretty Little Liars were both shoplifters (in fact, the scene in which Mona steals a scarf is pretty much her Establishing Character Moment). However, Hanna was later caught by the police, which resulted on her mom having an affair with Detective Wilden to prevent charges (plus getting blackmailed by A because of it), so she quickly drops this. | |

Watch Corporal Nobby Nobbs of Discworld is an expert at this, having been an Artful Dodger when he was a child. Everyone knows this, and nobody finds it more than mildly annoying at this point (the official Watch procedure for getting money out of Petty Cash is "Go find Nobby and make him give it back"). The climax to Thud! even relies on the assumption that he will have a certain MacGuffin on him, simply because it looked valuable and was in his vicinity for a while. | |

Subverted in The Great Train Robbery when Pierce hires a pickpocket to bump his mark (who has a safe key Pierce needs) but not actually take anything, and watches the mark's reaction from a nearby rooftop.note Hilariously the pickpocket is deeply insulted when Pierce asks if he used a mechanical aide to swipe a woman's wallet before hiring him. | |

The Twilight Zone (1985): In "One Life, Furnished in Early Poverty", the young Gus Rosenthal often stole comic books and toy soldiers, leading his father Lou to hit him with his belt to teach him a lesson. Even so, he was going to steal another toy soldier the next day but stopped when he noticed his older self looking at him. In "Song of the Younger World", Tanner Smith was forced to pick people's pockets as he had no money for food. As a result, he was sent to the House of Refuge Reformatory for Wayward Boys. |

She gets help from Laurie, who is apparently a pro, able to sneak out a hair drier in Jules purse. They get caught and put in "grocery store jail".

In the third book of Codex Alera, High Lady Antillus is bullying Rufus Scipio, a.k.a. Tavi. He responds by acting meek, and the moment she's out of earshot, pulls her purse out of his pocket. How else is the only Muggle in the setting going to get revenge on a Person of Mass Destruction? This turns out to be a major plot point. | |

Blossom of The Powerpuff Girls (1998), of all people, pulls this in "A Very Special Blossom." She steals a set of very fancy golf clubs to give the Professor for Father's Day. When the jig seems to be up, she tries to frame Mojo Jojo for the theft. Nobody — especially Bubbles and Buttercup — buys it. | |

It's possible to "reverse pickpocket" them, i.e. sneaking items into their possession, such as grenades which are activated as soon as you exit the menu. The game keeps track of how many times you've done this under "Pants Exploded", and Fallout 3 awards the Psychotic Prankster achievement for pulling it off the first time. | |

Big Mouth: When her parents' marriage starts to circle the drain, Jessi is encouraged by the Hormone Monstress to act out and start shoplifting, saying she doesn't need to pay if she's got five fingers. Jessi corrects her by saying that she has four fingers, but it's just "standard animation." | |

In Degrassi: The Next Generation, Control Freak Liberty tries to make nice with the school bad boys. When she tries to impress them by saying she'll provide a "five-finger discount," they're hysterical that this dork thinks this phrase is cool. A few episodes later, as the bad boys are shoplifting, the ringleader flexes his fingers and says, as if he thinks it's cool, "I can get us a five-finger discount." | |

The game keeps track of how many times you've done this under "Pants Exploded", and Fallout 3 awards the Psychotic Prankster achievement for pulling it off the first time. Planting items on NPCs is also useful for getting unique equipment from them (by giving them stronger but more common armor or stealing their ammo and planting a different weapon with some of its ammo, which the NPC will usually equip if you leave the building or town and come back). In some cases, you can also give skill-boosting equipment to characters who provide services based on those skills (most useful with Repair) or remove Haggle-boosting equipment from merchants. In Fallout 4, upon visiting the Hubris Comics store, Cait will mention that she once stole a comic book off a pack Brahmin as a child, practically memorizing it until it was trashed by her Abusive Parents. In Fallout 76, a raider-owned Protectron vendor mentions that five-finger discounts will be paid for with said five fingers. |

In El Chavo del ocho, the title character would sometimes resort to this whenever he's left guarding or asked to deliver some food to someone else. There's also one time he pretended to sleepwalk in Quico's house to take a bag of bread, and when Quico chides him for it, he says "But I didn't steal the bread. I just ate it." | |

In Cas and Dylan, shoplifting is one of Dylan Morgan's steady habits, much to the consternation of her traveling partner Cas. Her last pilfering in the film is a CD of bluegrass music - a peace offering for an earlier scene where she made fun of Cas' insistence on listening to a bluegrass radio station during their cross-country trip. | |

The Elder Scrolls: Pretty much standard practice for the series, especially for beginner characters who have not yet gotten into all of the series' Money for Nothing. Steal some stuff, take it to a different merchant (or a dedicated "fence" starting with Oblivion), sell it, rinse, repeat. In Morrowind, the very first Thieves' Guild quest for Sugar-Lips Habasi involves stealing a diamond from an Alchemist shop in such a fashion. This is far from the only quest in the Thieves Guild quest line to feature this, in Morrowind or in the rest of the series. |

Played with in 6teen when the main characters recount how they occasionally make themselves drinks or food at their mall jobs without paying, calling it the "five-finger discount". Their laid-back attitude about it leads to Jen stealing a jacket she admires from her workplace. She is later overcome with guilt and sneaks into the mall that night to put it back. | |

Cory Baxter on That's So Raven does this in "Five-Finger Discount" after giving in to peer pressure, but then becomes racked with guilt after having nightmares and tells Raven what he did, then goes back to the store to return the item he stole, which was a stress-toy monkey. Raven then has a vision of him being caught shoplifting again and disguises herself as a security guard to stop him. Raven herself was the security guard in her vision, making it come true. Then, a real security guard shows up, and Raven saves Cory from facing the same fate the bullies are facing after they were caught. | |

In Assassin's Creed II and its two sequels Ezio Auditore can do this to passers-by to gain a few coins. Certain missions involve using the skill to surreptitiously acquire important items. Particularly satisfying, after bribing a herald to stop bad-mouthing the Assassins, you can turn around and lift your bribe right back out of his pocket. | |

Used a lot in the The Three Stooges. In the short Loco Boy Makes Good, Curly is apparently a slick enough pickpocket to steal $50 and a pocket watch from someone. Yet in other shorts, he's caught stealing silverware and anything not nailed down. The other Stooges are guilty of this from time to time | |

In one scene Paul attempts to steal from a convenience store but is kicked out for touching a loaf of bread with his filthy hands. Karl, a fellow homeless guy, manages to steal the bread and gives it to Paul, rationalizing that it would have been thrown out anyway. | |
