Important stuff is usually protected, making it pretty hard for a thief to just waltz into a place and steal what they want: Safecracking will take too long, the Password Slot Machine is too slow, the structure is too strong to Shoot Out the Lock and they'll be detected as soon as they try to hack into the terminal. But wait, why even bother trying to steal just what they want? They can grab everything surrounding their target, and figure things out once they get the hell out of there. Frequently, an entire building will be stolen, in one way or another. This tactic can be necessary if the objective is protected by a Self-Destructing Security system. Trying to open the device at the scene without the necessary precautions could destroy what's being stolen, while taking the whole thing means someone could work on it later, at their leisure. One of the oldest examples is stealing a safe and breaking into it later. This variant was popular in early radio dramas, and has become a Dead Horse Trope, as a safe not bolted down is rather silly. The modern variant usually involves blowing up whatever the safe is bolted to, and then stealing the safe. See also Safecracking, "Open!" Says Me, Cutting the Knot, Dungeon Bypass, Myopic Architecture and Take a Third Option. Overlaps with Sky Heist when an aircraft is used to steal the surroundings. Can extend to Monumental Theft when a character's theft involves small buildings dragged by even smaller cars. Not to be confused with Sticky Fingers where someone may steal various items, both big and small, simply because they can. |

In one Uncle Scrooge story, after another unsuccessful attempt by the Beagle Boys to break into his Money Bin, Scrooge decides to move his fortune to somewhere easy to defend. He converts all of his coins into high denomination notes and stores them in a spherical water tank atop a hill completely surrounded by open ground. In one of their better plans, the Beagle Boys trick their way on to the grounds, cut the tank loose and roll it away, with Scrooge still inside. | |

In one episode of TaleSpin, Baloo, Wild Kat, and an archaeologist discover a lost pyramid, but end up leading the Sky Pirates to it. When the archaeologist voices her concern about the pirates, Baloo dismissively says "What are they going to do? Take the whole pyramid?". Just as they find their way out, they see the Iron Vulture above using strong cables to tote the entire pyramid out of the ground. | |

Schlock Mercenary has one storyline where the plot is a variation on this trope. Tagon's Toughs are hired by a feminist group to get an offensive and mean-spirited make-over show off the air. A little research reveals they can't just get rid of the hosts because the network will just replace them next season and keep making the show. And they can't just blow up the network's studios and offices because (besides the moral implications of all the innocent people who would be hurt or killed) the insurance would get them back in business in no time. So, in typical "no such thing as overkill" fashion, they invoke this trope and concoct a plan to completely destroy the entire corporation's finances AND safely damage their building beyond repair (so they'd have to waste even more cash demolishing it) with no casualties in order to fulfill their contract to get one show off the air. While they are at it, they also shortchange the stock on the network and make even more money for doing their job. | |

Dungeons & Dragons' Tomb of Horrors is a variant: the titular Tomb is Schmuck Bait with very little treasure, loads of Death Traps, and a Soul Eating demilich at the centre. However, the doors are made of precious Fantasy Metals. After a fair few adventuring parties pried them off their hinges and made off with a fortune in adamantium and Mithril, later editions revised it so the doors are common steel with cosmetic enchantments and Reinforce Fields. | |

Authorities in the film Danger: Diabolik try to prevent Diabolik from stealing 15 tons of gold from a train by melting it into a single lingot and sealing it into a thick welded steel container, itself welded to the train. Diabolik blows up a bridge that sends the train into the water, where the super villain steals the entire container with the aid of balloons and a mini sub. Once back at his lair Diabolik drills a hole at the top of the steel container to insert a super heated rod to melt the gold inside. He then attaches a hose to a hole drilled at the bottom of the container in order to pour the melted gold into molds so that it can be converted to regular sized gold bars. This was taken step for step from the original comic book (story "Desperate Fight"), except for the means used to move the wagon (in the comic it was a barge with a crane). | |

Far Cry 5: One of the things you can find during free-roam is either a box-truck or semi trailer that can be looted for a powerful weapon or unique car, and a small amount of RP. While the latter, being a trailer, will require the corresponding vehicle, both versions can be taken wholesale if you don't want to risk getting shot at, at which point they can be looted at any time thereafter once the player gets where they're going. You don't even need to abandon them after looting them, you can just re-raise the ramp and keep going. | |

He can't find them on her poorly organized desktop. As he's running out of time, he just takes the whole computer and monitor with him. | |

And then Neeku, Eila and Kel discover the Colossus' long-disused hyperdrive and thrusters... So they instead escape the First Order by absconding with the entire platform into space. | |

In the Modesty Blaise novel The Impossible Virgin, Modesty and Willie have to steal some sensitive documents from a safe in the villain's house. With the villain on the alert, it's considered impossible to get into the house, let alone get enough uninterrupted time to crack the safe (it was originally installed when the house belonged to a jewel merchant, and is a heavy-duty model built directly into a wall) — so they use a crane and demolition ball to smash through the wall, and steal the entire safe. | |

In one episode of SpongeBob SquarePants, an Alaskan Bull Worm (a polychaete worm) has been menacing Bikini Bottom and been eating away parts of the town. The town has a meeting at the Krusty Krab on how to deal with the situation, where Patrick suggests that they "just take Bikini Bottom and push it somewhere else!", which Squidward and the others consider "crazy enough... TO GET US ALL KILLED!". However, after Sandy and SpongeBob decide to go off and fight the worm, the Bikini Bottomites consider the duo's attempt futile and decide to go with Patrick's plan. The last scene shows them successfully moving the town a considerable distance away in a ravine... only to be crushed by the worm falling on them from above after it was defeated by Sandy and SpongeBob. | |

Zoolander - Hansel is tasked to get a vital piece of information out of a computer. Unfortunately, he can't figure out how to do so, as he is too stupid to turn one on, let alone perform Hollywood Hacking. Instead, he just takes the entire computer(an IMac G3)... and smashes it to pieces on the floor in front of a crowd, thinking that the data is literally IN the computer and will spill out like a pinata. (Fortunately for our heroes, the original owner of the computer has a backup.) | |

Baccano!: Doesn't happen onscreen, but Graham Spector's first reaction to hearing that some other gang of thieves might beat his own to looting Millionaire Row is to order his gang to start dismantling entire houses to find the safes and carry them back to their lair. Inverted when the endearingly air-headed pair of thieves Isaac and Miria attempt to steal "history itself" by actually targeting an entire museum. Failing that, they simply filch the door to the building, thinking that nobody would be able to enter the museum if there isn't any door to enter. Since the museum ends up being closed while the police investigate, they technically succeed. |

In the Ocean's Eleven sequels, this is done once straight and once as a variant. In Thirteen, a secure case full of diamond necklaces is hauled out of a casino's roof via helicopter. In Twelve, the team need line-of-sight to a specific window for a heist at a house built on pylons; the window's too low, so they raise the house until it lines up. (Granted, they only moved the surroundings, they didn't keep them, but it's certainly related.) |

Once in a while, Diabolik finds easier to do this. Usually it's just some large safe (even if the owner of the safe had bolted to the floor or encased in the wall. Diabolik doesn't steal the floor or the wall, but considers penetrating them as an entertaining game, and in at least one occasion stole a bolted-down safe by making it fly), but in one occasion he saw that the only way to steal a large cargo of gold was to steal the train it was on and did just that (this was reproduced in the movie Danger: Diabolik, see below for details). | |

In "Panic Room", Bain comes up with a plan to steal a very large cache of money and contraband locked inside the titular panic room, located in Chavez's hideout. The safe room is too high-tech to be breached on-site; so instead of cracking the saferoom mid-heist, the robbers use circular saws to cut the structural beams to which the room is bolted, plant explosives to blow a hole through the roof and floors of the building and lift the entire room out of the complex with a Skycrane. | |

Burn Notice: Fiona is given the task of stealing a safe. She accomplishes it through this trope and lots of explosives. Michael posed as an IT guy so he could steal a computer with security footage he needed, though in this case he at least hooked up a replacement for them. A third episode had a more short-term version, with Michael and Sam ripping a safe from its concealed spot inside of a bank's floor panels and smashing it around (via tossing it off a second floor) in order to force it open. |

If Lupin the Third of Lupin III can't get the treasure itself, his elaborate scheme frequently becomes stealing what contains the treasure instead. In some variations, he will pretend to steal the container, and when the distracted target goes after him to get it back, it gives him time to double-back and break into the real thing. | |
