Stealing is illegal, but that doesn't stop some people from doing it. However, sometimes a person thinks another person stole something and they're wrong. The item could be a piece of food, a valuable item, money, something the accuser really likes, or anything else, but the result is the same: it goes missing and somebody believes that one person in particular stole it. That person could be suspected for a variety of reasons: maybe they have been known for doing questionable acts in the past, maybe they really do steal sometimes, or someone said that they did it (but lied), if it's food, maybe they're a Big Eater or they like the food in question (maybe it's even their Trademark Favorite Food, but a character can like a food without it being trademark). Maybe they don't get along with the item's owner or they really wanted the item, or maybe they were seen with evidence (for example, they had crumbs near them if it was food, were holding an item similar to the missing one, or were seen holding the missing item but were actually trying to put it back), or the accuser thinks the actual perpetrator is too cute to steal. Or the accused could be the victim of some form of prejudice, like racism. Sometimes, even, the person who suspects the other person thinks the real perp doesn't even exist! Usually, the item will turn out to either have been stolen by someone else or not stolen at all. If it wasn't stolen at all, it might have been accidentally knocked over by a person, animal or the wind or someone might have accidentally thrown it out or forgotten where they put it. Alternatively, the person suspected of theft was in possession of it, but they'd only meant to borrow it (and borrowing something without asking, while inadvisable, is still not stealing if you return it). Sometimes, someone took it but for a relatively good reason and were planning to return it (for example, a teacher confiscated a student's toy but that was only because toys weren't allowed in class, or someone took a piece of clothing but only because they wanted to wash it.) If it was stolen, it could have been an animal like a dog or a bird (sometimes a Thieving Magpie), or in some cases, a monkey who stole it. If the thief was a human, they might have been trying to frame the wrongly suspected person, especially if they're the wrongly suspected person's rival, but sometimes they just wanted the item and feel bad when they get caught. If the wrongly-suspected person tries to say that they didn't steal, the accuser likely won't believe them, although there will often be one, two, or several people who are usually close friends of the false suspect and/or know that the person wouldn't do it and they usually try to help the person prove they didn't steal it, commonly by exposing the real culprit. |

In A Yellow Raft in Blue Water, Rayona mistakes her mother Christine for a thief trying to break into their car since she sees her mother wearing a candy-striper uniform that was stolen from the Indian Health Service hospital since she had no intention of staying in the hospital and was going to drive off to kill herself. Rayona attacks her by whacking her in the ass, and they both get knocked over when the car door opens and her mother turns to confront her attacker when she sees that it is Rayona. | |

A Little Lily Princess: This is a recurring cause for the Darkest Hour before Sara wakes up to the "magic", as it gives Miss Minchin a reason to punish Sara by telling her she won't be getting any food the following day: Jessie's route: Jessie gives Sara a piece of jewelry, but Lavinia reports it stolen and has Miss Minchin search Sara's room for it. Mariette's route: Mariette gives Sara a shawl when they run into each other, but Miss Minchin assumes Sara stole the shawl from one of the students when she comes back to the seminar wearing it. In Becky's route, Becky puts her savings in Sara's care for safekeeping, but Lavinia makes Miss Minchin search Sara's room for falsely reported stolen items much earlier than she does in Jessie's route. Becky's savings become the would-be stolen item and the cause of an early unfortunate incident rather than the last one before the "magic". On top of this, the last incident before the "magic" consists of her being accused of stealing food by the Cook, who gave the food to the policeman she's seeing and needed to cover up the real reason it was gone. |

Tommy Boy: Tommy and Richard follow Ray Zalinsky into a business building, and they split up looking for him. Tommy goes into a bank and yells "Listen up, this'll only take a second!", and everybody immediately assumes he's trying to hold up the bank, with the security guards sliding their pistols over. Tommy realizes he's screwed up and promptly flees (fortunately, they find Zalinsky and try to talk to him before being dismissed). However, Tommy soon takes advantage of the situation when he sees a news crew that was sent to report on the alleged hold-up and he gets them to follow him back to Zalinsky's office by pretending he has a bomb strapped to himself (which are actually road flares). | |

As it turns out, Red took the money in order to pay for a water heater, which he fully intended to pay back before Eric noticed. | |

Sesame Street: Zigzagged in one "Ernie and Bert" skit. Bert finds cake crumbs on Ernie's plate, a piece of cake missing, and Ernie holding a fork so he presumes Ernie took it. Ernie makes up a story about a monster shaking the crumbs off the piece of cake and eating it, then giving Ernie the fork but then admits that he ate the cake. However, a monster shows up and does exactly what Ernie said with the second piece of cake. In one "Ernie and Bert" skit, Cookie Monster takes some cookies, but he was dressed as Ernie, so Bert thinks Ernie did it. |

Uncle thinks El Toro is a thief because he is wearing his trademark mask. When Jackie tried to correct him, he smacks him, thinking he's saying the wrong thing about him. And then, it's inverted when Viper enters the shop and Jackie, recognizing her profession (before she said she isn't a thief anymore), attempts to kick her out, only for Uncle to smack him again as if he thinks he's doing the wrong thing with her. |

He's gleeped lots of stuff!" without knowing that "gleep" is slang for "steal", which makes everybody think that Arthur is a thief. In "Cereal", D.W.'s box of cereal goes missing and because Arthur happens to be eating cereal that morning, she thinks he took it. It turns out that Pal the dog took it. |

One of the sidequests in Mass Effect 2 involves Shepard helping a quarian girl who'd been accused of stealing a volus's credit chip when said volus had actually just left it in a shop. The volus concocts an increasingly elaborate (and wildly impossible) tale about how she pick pocketed him before you clear her, then refuses to apologize afterword, potentially leading to Shepard delivering an ear-blistering dressing down for his behavior. | |

In some sketches, El Chavo is accused of robbery and forced to leave the vecinidad because some of his neighbors' items, like irons and dishes, appear inside his barrel (put there by the real thief). In the end, everything ends well, but considering the sitcom is a comedy, it drives the show in a dark and sad territory to touch the audience about poverty and injustice. | |

Little Princess: In "I Want My Crayons", the Princess's crayons get knocked under an armchair but Princess thinks someone took them. She suspects everyone except the King and the pets, which greatly offends them, especially the General. In "But They're Mine!", the King and Queen take some of the Princess's clothes and the Princess thinks that they stole them, but actually they were intending to give them away to her little cousins and the Princess hadn't realized she had outgrown them. Later, Scruff takes some and Puss tries to give them back but Princess calls him bad because she thinks he stole them. In "I Want to Be a Detective", Scruff eats some biscuits the Princess made and she thinks Puss did it. |

Hang 'Em High: The whole reason for the plot is the main character (a guy named Jed Cooper who used to be a lawman but became a cattle wrangler) was the last man known to have been with another cattle wrangler (who was murdered and had his cattle stolen after Jed bought some cows) and so was accused of the theft by a group of vigilantes. He gave the posse evidence but they weren't satisfied so they hanged him from a tree. Luckily, he survived the hanging and eventually got even with both them and the real thief. | |

Futurama: In "The Luck of the Fryrish," a trip to Old New York leads to Fry finding out that his hidden seven-leaf clover was missing and that a statue wearing it that looks like his brother Yancy leads Fry to believe that after he went missing, Yancy stole the clover and Fry's name. During a grave robbery to reclaim the clover however, it's revealed that the famous late Philip J. Fry was actually Yancy's son, who was named after him out of endearment and was gifted the clover which Yancy found by complete accident. After Fry discovers this, he leaves the clover behind. In "Murder on the Planet Express," Hermes accuses Zoidberg of stealing his manwich. The truth, which was caught on tape, was more complicated: Bender arranged to have Fry's kidney removed, so he puts it in a cooler in the fridge to keep it cool, throwing the manwich (which was in the cooler) onto the counter in the process. Leela takes the kidney back out and eats it, assuming it was one of Hermes' exotic lunches. The end result is that the manwich ends up where the kidney was supposed to go: Professor Farnsworth's body. |

The Fairly OddParents! episode "Inspection Detection" has Timmy getting accused of shoplifting at a local department store while prepping for Fairy Inspection Day since he can't explain where he got everything he wished for at the risk of losing Cosmo and Wanda, since, by sheer coincidence, some of the items he wished for were shoplifted from the store. The real perpetrator is The Bully, Francis, since Timmy found a shoplifted walkie-talkie in his pants. With his parents and the police being too stupid to believe him, Timmy was forced to go on the run in order to clear his name. He was eventually able to prove it when Cosmo shape-shifts into a security camera and catches Francis on video stealing a tub of lard. | |

In "The Waltons" episode "The Theft", John Walton Sr. is accused of stealing some fancy silver from an affluent family after doing some handyman work for them. The episode even teases this as it shows him admiring the silver tea kettle while alone and then cuts to him in the big city, buying new tires for his truck. Previously, the family had been going through an extremely rough patch. While the rest of the family doesn't think he stole the silver, his acting strangely uncooperative in telling them where he got the influx of money makes them uncomfortable. It eventually comes out that the affluent family's son has sold several items behind his mother's back in an attempt to keep the secretly broke family's lifestyle intact. As for where John got the money and why he was uncomfortable bringing up where he got it? He was ashamed that he had to pawn his wedding band off to pay for the truck repairs. | |

The Patrick Star Show: Parodied in "Now Museum, Now You Don't". Cecil left his underwear at home and Patrick has to bring it to him during his new job as an art museum night watchman. Before he leaves, Bunny gives him his sweater, face mask, and a bag to store the underwear, which makes him look like a stereotypical robber. She also asks him to have something nice to say to everyone he meets that night: Patrick goes with "Reach for the sky!" and a finger gun gesture. He arrives to the museum on a bus, happily thanking the terrified passengers, who have sacrificed their watches and wallets to him. Similarly, once he enters the museum, Cecil mistakes him for an actual robber. | |

Diary of a Wimpy Kid: In "Rodrick Rules", Mrs Craig (the English teacher)'s dictionary goes missing and some bullies think that Corey Lamb and Peter Lynn (two verbose boys) stole it. It turns out that it wasn't stolen, Alex Aruda had simply been using it to study. In "The Long Haul", the Heffleys cannot find their luggage while at the pool and believe that another family (which Greg nicknames "the Beardos" because the father has a beard) took it. It turns out that they just opened the wrong locker. In "The Getaway", the Heffleys lose a suitcase full of their clothing and accidentally take a stranger's suitcase full of clothing at the airport instead. Because they want to go have a decent meal at a restaurant, which has a dress code, they decide to use the clothing in the suitcase to be allowed in there and were planning on sending them back when they were done using them. However, the family whom actually owned the suitcase happened to be there, and reported them to security. But when confronted for information, the Heffleys decide to take the security guard's golf cart and make a dash out of there to avoid trouble. This makes the security guard convinced that the Heffleys intentionally stole the suitcase for themselves, so he makes them hand back the clothes, and also escorts them out of the resort because the business does not tolerate "theft." |

In the Warrior Cats book A Dangerous Path, ThunderClan finds evidence of prey being killed on their territory. Bluestar assumes it's being stolen by WindClan (to the point of accusing them publicly at a Gathering), due to her paranoia/dementia and the fact that one particular example of the prey was the remains a rabbit found on that end of the territory. Fireheart knows that it's likely a dog catching the prey due to other evidence and arranges for Bluestar to meet with WindClan's leader to discuss it before she can lead an attack on them. | |

In So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish, Arthur tells Fenchurch a story about how he thought a man in a station waiting room was taking his biscuits, but really the man was eating from an identical packet of biscuits and Arthur had in fact accidentally stolen the man's biscuits. The author, Douglas Adams, claims that it was based off something that happened to him in real life, but variations on it have been an Urban Legend since before the book was written. | |

In Kirby: Squeak Squad, Kirby's strawberry shortcake gets stolen. He thinks Dedede (who has stolen all the food in Dream Land before) did it, but then gets distracted by a bunch of thieving mice called the Squeak Squad. It's unknown if they did it or not, but Dedede is innocent. | |

House of Anubis: In "Touchstone of Ra", the students go to an Ancient Egyptian themed museum, where an artifact gets stolen, put in Eddie's bag, and confiscated by the teachers. In reality, a girl named Sophia was the culprit, but she and Eddie were friends so Eddie blames Dexter because the latter liked the object. Only Patricia, who doesn't like Sophia, takes Dexter's side. | |

It turns out the crystals are the city’s power supply, and they’ve been mysteriously going missing for a while. The chapter then involves breaking out of prison and clearing Catie’s name by finding out who the real thief is. | |

Spongebob Squarepants: In "The Pink Purloiner", Spongebob thinks Patrick stole his jellyfishing net. It turned out that he left it on the bus (and according to the driver, that scenario had happened before). In "Brother, Can You Spare a Dime?", Mr. Krabs thinks Squidward stole his #1 Dime and so Squidward quits his job and moves in with Spongebob. As it turns out, the dime was in Mr. Krabs's back pocket. But they start another argument when Squidward returns to work because Mr. Krabs believes Squidward put the dime in his pocket. In "The Great Snail Race," Patrick mistakes a referee for a burglar due to his black-and-white striped shirt. Inverted in "Doing Time," in which SpongeBob and Patrick try to rob a bank, but are so bad at it that the teller doesn't even know they're trying to rob the place and instead assumes from their demands for money that they're just trying to make a withdrawal. |

Milly, Molly: In "B. B. Brown", Humphrey thinks B. B. Brown stole his toy. It was understandable, since up until recently, B. B. Brown had been a kleptomaniac, but it wasn't him. | |
