As a way to prove your thieving credentials, the best Impossible Theft is to steal something HUGE. Thefts of this trope come from characters who set their sights high, higher than would be even feasible: why raid an Ancient Egyptian tomb if you could steal the pyramid in which the treasure is buried? Sunken pirate ship? No problem, just pilfer the entire body of water under which it's trapped. Even if it's anchored to the Earth's core, or is the Earth's core, and there's no possible way someone could steal it without drawing attention. That is the Monumental Theft. It may be considered the inverse to the Sister Trope, Intangible Theft. While an Intangible Theft of the Moon's gravity would cause tidal problems here on Earth, people can still see the Moon itself in the sky. A Monumental Theft would be stealing the Moon, so that no-one can find it. Both tropes are a type of Impossible Theft. Also see Monumental Damage. |

The Simpsons: "Marge in Chains" has Snake steal the entire Kwik-E-Mart. "I'm taking this thing to Mexico!" It was left unguarded at the time. In "Marge Be Not Proud", when Bart is caught shoplifting, Marge tells the security guard who caught him in the act that he's no shoplifter; he's "just a little boy". He takes this to mean she's downplaying how serious the crime was and his logic extends as follows: |

Played with in an episode of Eureka. It opens with Jack being excited about being called to a good old fashioned bank robbery, "no black holes, no blobs". When he arrives at the scene he finds an empty foundation and Deputy Andy informs him "they stole the whole thing". Halfway through the episode, it's averted when they learn it wasn't stolen but a problem with gravity made it float away. | |

Discworld: Fred Colon justifies hanging around various Ankh-Morpork landmarks rather than going on an actual beat by the fact that he is guarding them against such grandiose thieves. This is made more impressive due to the fact many major landmarks were designed by Bloody Stupid Johnson, and are thus rather small. In spite of this, Unseen University did get stolen once, but that was just a student prank. As did the Brass Bridge. One wonders if Colon is really up to the job. In Interesting Times, Cohen the Barbarian stole a country by going to the throne room and saying it was his. |

In the original series The Transformers episode 'Thief In The Night', the Decepticon Trypticon steals several famous landmarks - including Fort Knox, the Taj Mahal, the St. Basil's Cathedral (mistakenly called 'the Kremlin') and the Eiffel Tower) in return for large supplies of high-quality fuel from the fictional nation Carbombya. The heists were neither very well-planned nor particularly cunningly performed: he basically just went there and pulled the buildings out of the ground before carrying them off (Trypticon is rather a large Transformer). | |

The Brotherhood of Evil Henchmen, in the Nodwick comic, attempted to become a whole society of Monumental Thieves dedicated to the service of others. They abducted Nodwick, whose henchman "special power" is the ability to haul titanic weights around like other people would their luggage, and tried to get him to reveal the secrets of his amazing cargo-hauling strength. As their own "power" is the discovery and acquisition of small and rare items (magical artifacts, abnormal brains, etc.) for their masters, they hoped to make themselves even more powerful by being able to haul off whole arcane libraries instead of a single magic tome, or sealed buildings full of forbidden artifacts instead of having to break in just for the magic sword. They finally gave up when Nodwick proved to be too much trouble to keep contained for interrogation and realized that someone's more likely to notice a whole building gone missing long before a book. | |

Exalted: The Sidereals have Neighbourhood Relocation Scheme at the peak of their Dodge Charm tree. This allows them to move regions of Creation anywhere from four to ten miles in radius, including terrain, habitations, and people, as far as they can run in a few hours (including movement enhancements from Charms). Doing so without proper authorization paperwork filled is grounds for an audit. It should be noted that the prerequisite Charms are the cheaper of the two Sidereal Perfect Defenses and a Charm that lets you use your Dodge Charms on other people, so taking it is easy to justify regardless of whatever else your life choices entail. | |

Disney Ducks Comic Universe: In his first incarnation, Paperinik (Donald Duck's superhero-avenger of himself alter ego) steals huge amounts at once. He stole Scrooge's money-filled bed while he was sleeping on it in the very first story. In one story he faked a Face–Heel Turn caused by a supposed amnesia and stole half of Duckburg piece by piece (at that point the police just gave up and started playing with flowers), and gave it back once he had dismantled the criminal organization he had set to infiltrate. |

Where in the U.S.A. Is Carmen Sandiego? varied in how realistic the thefts were. They ranged from entirely possible like the hand crank to the first Model T, the recipe for Coca-Cola, and the Indianapolis 500's checkered flag, to the ones practical but for the sheer scale like the Red Sox's socks, the Delta Queen Riverboat's paddlewheel, and Time Square's billboard, to more ridiculous such as all of the hour hands from the American Clock & Watch Museum, all of the water in Crater Lake, and all of the sand on Waikiki Beach, to the absurd like Monticello, Abraham Lincoln's log cabin, and The Breakers, to the very absurd such as the Space Needle, all of the maple syrup in Vermont, and every lobster bib in all of Maine. Even above those, they somehow managed to steal the Mason-Dixon Line. | |

Tropico 6 features stealing major monuments and plopping them into your Banana Republic as a late-game mechanic. Each one gives you a different benefit, too- stealing the Statue of Liberty causes immigrants to automatically like you, for example. However, there are some downsides- you can only steal one with each agency for a total of four monuments, and stealing them will anger the superpower who owned it. | |

In Paper Mario 64, Bowser manages to uproot Princess Peach's castle and lift it into the sky, using his own castle (presumably burrowed into the ground and moved over). In the beginning of Paper Mario: The Origami King, the titular king does something similar, holding Peach's castle high into the air with several sets of giant streamers. |

Superman The villain Brainiac will often use a shrink ray to steal cities. The Bottle City of Krandor is the one Kryptonian city that Superman was able to take from him. A story written in The Silver Age of Comic Books has Lex Luthor planting bombs in all the world's great monuments, and then he threatens to detonate them unless Superman would physically steal them for him. Supes does eventually find a way to disarm the bombs, but not before he has had to carry half the world's monuments to Luthor's hideout. |

Where on Earth Is Carmen Sandiego? worked hard to make Carmen Sandiego's seemingly outrageous crimes semi-plausible in their execution. True to herself, she always commits her crimes just to prove she can, and allows the stolen goods to be recovered once the theft's been accomplished. The opening credits have her stealing a Chinese stone lion, the Sphinx, and the Statue of Liberty in rapid succession. A plan to make her the most famous crook in time by stealing the Roman Colosseum from Ancient Rome, deals with stolen miniature landmarks, ACME's first Chronoskimmer, a bust of a Roman leader, an electric magnet from the future, and Hannibal's elephants. |

In Despicable Me: Before the film, Gru has stolen the Times Square Jumbotron, the Statue of Liberty ("The small one, from Las Vegas"), and the Eiffel Tower ("Also from Vegas"). At the beginning, someone completely removed one of the Pyramids of Giza and replace it with an inflatable model without anyone noticing. While the audience was first led to believe that Gru stole it, it turns out Vector stole it. Gru's notion of revenge is to concoct a plan to steal the Moon. (Admittedly after shrinking it to the size of a baseball.) |

In the aptly named movie, Bender's Big Score, Bender steals everything. Items seen include the Mona Lisa (incomplete), Tutankhamen's death mask, and what has to be the True Cross. |

The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3 In "Reptiles in the Rose Garden", King Koopa used a levitation beam to uproot the White House (with the President inside it) from the ground and transported it through a warp pipe to Dark Land, just so that Kootie Pie could rule the United States. In "The Venice Menace", King Koopa intends to warp the entire city of Venice to Dark Land, just to turn it into a water park for Kootie Pie. However, the episode never really explains just exactly how Koopa would've transported the whole city, and the Mario Bros. foil his plan before he can carry it out. |

In the short-lived series Inhumanoids, Metlar had what was likely the craziest motive for stealing the Statue of Liberty - he fell in love with it!. (Maybe it makes sense a little, seeing as he was a giant monster made of living metal.) Even crazier, once he brings Lady Liberty to life, she's surprisingly accepting of it, but nags him relentlessly, working him even harder than his former slave-driving master Sslither did. Eventually, he decides to de-animate her and return her to her pedestal after getting sick of it. | |

Issac and Miria from Baccano!! style themselves as Monumental Thieves. However, their ambition is offset by one simple fact: they are... mentally interesting. (For example, they once attempted to steal all of History itself... by stealing the front step of a museum, rendering it impossible to enter. Another theft saw them attempt to steal from the very Earth itself... by mining for gold. For nine months. In a cave that had no prior history of ever yielding gold.) | |

At one point, he steals a whole Viking ship, whilst completely naked. Even he recognized the impossibility of swiping Scrooge's whole fortune, though, so he planned to disintegrate it instead. Scrooge doesn't find him as honorable as he claims to be, however, because he pulls off such heists to boost his ego, even calling the press beforehand and telling them where to be to cover the story. | |
