Ransacked Room | comment |
You've got the MacGuffin and the Big Bad knows it. So is he going to send his Mooks after you? Why not try to search your room first? This is always intended to be while the character is out — or, at least, asleep. Sometimes, it succeeds in that, and the search is carried out. There's two methods. Sneaky, and rushed. The sneaky way, the character only discovers the search when he returns and finds it subtly changed — maybe he was sneaky as well and planted threads or hairs on doors and such. The sneaky way often combines with planting bugs. The rushed way involves tipping over all furniture, cutting open mattresses, smashing windows, and dumping everything on the floor. Seriously, if the whatever is something small, the mess would be harder to find it in than anything else. Mooks that resort to the obviously ransacked technique may want him to know it's happened, may be Too Dumb to Live, or may resort to it because it's quicker. Sometimes the mess is intentionally created to stop investigators from finding out what's been taken, or to intimidate the target by blatantly invading and messing up his personal space. A common subversion is for an investigator to assume the place was ransacked — and then the owner (or someone who knew them, if they're dead) says that, no, they're just a slob. It is very, very, very rare indeed for them to find what they are looking for. On the other hand, the character can be in the room (by day) or wake up (by night) — or return unexpectedly and surprise the searcher. Drama, and often violence, ensues. However, the searcher can, very likely, escape. Easily. On the other hand, Room Disservice sometimes comes into play, if the search is not obvious yet, and the searcher's position is not obviously comprising. By the way, the word "ransack" (rarely used in any other context) is from the Old Norse rann "house" and saka "search". Compare Faking and Entering. |

The Mermaid Chronicles: In Secrets of the Deep, Dylan gives Cordelia a magic pearl and tells her to keep it safe from the selachii. She hides it in her room. But a few weeks later she comes home to find that her room has been destroyed - her chair, pillow, and mattress have been slashed, the contents of her closet and drawers are strewn all over the floor, and her keepsake box is smashed open. Her father, who doesn't know about the pearl, is baffled that someone would do all that and not steal anything. | |

On Heroes, Mohinder comes home and surprises a Company agent searching (and bugging) his apartment. The agent claims to be an exterminator, and protests "this man pulled a gun on me" to a neighbor witnessing the ensuing fight. Of course, the gun holster exposed under the agent's jacket makes this lie rather obvious. Though it turns out the neighbor was also a Company agent which suggests that previous bugging was staged. | |

Robin (1993): Tim Drake's room is ransacked by his own father after the football coach can't remember Tim trying out for football. Tim sort of implied he tried out and failed to excuse a bruise by saying he'd stayed late at school because of tryouts, although given Tim's interests photography of the event would've been a more reasonable conclusion. He tore the entire room apart, had his wife try to hack Tim's computer, and started taking apart the walls before finding the Robin suit. | |

A grim subversion in Nineteen Eighty-Four. Winston Smith starts to keep a diary and wants to find some unobtrusive way to tell if anyone has been snooping in it. Instead of sticking a hair across the pages, he puts a grain of dust he can easily identify on one corner of the cover. He sees it there every time he takes out the diary and figures no one's been into it, but during his detention in the Ministry of Love, he becomes convinced that they found and read the diary, replacing the grain to cover their tracks. It's never established one way or the other, though. | |

There was a MAD satire once, which showed a picture of a room before being searched by the Queensland police, and then again after. It was very neat before, totally trashed afterwards. It was a puzzle: 'How many differences can you spot between this pictures?'. The correct answer, of course, was 'none'. | |

Instead Scully's sister turns up and shames Mulder into going to the hospital instead. When he returns Mulder finds his apartment trashed and breaks down in tears, thinking he's missed his chance for revenge. But Scully wakes from her coma the next day, making the need for revenge moot. | |

He goes to tell William of Baskerville, who tells him to lock himself in his room and let no-one in until he arrives (Baskerville is held up in a theological conference). On returning to his apothecary, he shocked to find the place ransacked. He bolts the door and quickly goes to check the book is still there. It is lying on the floor under a table. The herbalist is relieved, until he sees a hooded figure step out from behind a curtain and walk toward him... | |

In one of the opening scenes of the X-Wing Series novel Starfighters of Adumar, Wedge mentions that his room has been subjected to a very thorough example of the subtle type. He isn't sure why until General Cracken, head of New Republic Intelligence, comes to brief him; he then (correctly) surmises that Cracken's agents were searching for listening devices. | |

In Dumb and Dumber, the two villains consider trashing Harry and Lloyd's place to send them a message, but decide that (based on what the place already looks like) such a message would get lost. They settle for killing Petey the parakeet instead. | |

The "trash the place" technique was used on Joan's apartment at the beginning of Romancing the Stone. The shock of the event on Joan was magnified because she didn't even know that she had the map yet, let alone that there were people who were looking for it. | |

Taken to extremes with Light in Death Note. He hides the titular Artifact of Death in a false bottom in his drawer rigged to incinerate the Death Note if it isn't opened properly. He also pulls the handle of his door upwards after leaving, along with putting a small slip of paper in the door, because he knows that if his mother, father, or sister were to enter the room, they'd trip the paper-defence, but not notice the paper. When he finds the paper still in the door, but the handle moved, he knows that his room has been searched by pros. He's also got the pencil lead on the hinge that breaks when the door is opened (the pros didn't find that). | |

In M*A*S*H, Frank departs from the operating room and discovers a note in his jacket pocket from Margaret. He reads it cheerfully then tears it up. This shocks Margaret, who has kept every note Frank sent her. While Margaret is assisting Hawkeye with a problem patient, Frank ransacks Margaret's tent looking for all the notes from him she kept. Notably it starts as the subtle type, but by the time Margaret gets back to her tent the next morning, the place has been turned upside down and Frank is asleep in the middle of it. | |

This is a particularly tense moment, since it seems related to the whole Heir of Slytherin debacle, but only a Gryffindor could have done it. It was Ginny Weasley, who saw Harry had the diary and was terrified he'd find out all of her secrets. | |

YOU DON'T BELONG HERE" written on the canvases. Araminta is horrified, not only because of the threats but also because her trauma makes her an intensely private person who rarely even lets Morgan into the studio, and because she can't afford to buy new paints and canvases. | |

The beginning of Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis - Sophia's office has been searched, with items thrown everywhere. However, they missed her necklace, which was the only thing of value she kept in there, besides the Orichalcum bead. To be fair, they only look like small copper balls that glitter like fire, and contain enough energy to rearrange your DNA. The same thing happens in the prequel, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, where the villains ransack Jones' father's home in search for the Grail diary. Fortunately it was mailed to Indy beforehand. |

Subverted in The Mentalist, while Jane's room wasn't exactly ransacked and the bad guys did find what they needed Jane's information regarding Red John and left without a trace. He notices however when a toothpick he purposely left in the door earlier fell out of place. He also points out that a completely ransacked room suggests the thief did not find what they were looking for, since at best that would mean they found it in the last possible place it could be (extremely unlikely), or more likely not at all. | |

MacGyver TV-movies: Subverted in the TV-movie Mac Gyver Lost Treasure Of Atlantis. When MacGyver and co. enter Prof. Atticus's study, they think that this has happened. Then Atticus notes that it has always looked like that. Played straight in the subsequent film Mac Gyver Trail To Doomsday when MacGyver and Natalia find the door to her apartment busted open, and the whole place ransacked. |

On Burn Notice, CSS agent Jason Bly has Michael's apartment searched. It's a subversion in that Michael is there at the time. Also, Bly doesn't expect to find anything; he's just doing it to mess with Michael. | |
