Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })It Takes a Thief was an American television series that aired on ABC between 1968 and 1970. It followed the exploits of master thief and Con Man Alexander Mundy (Robert Wagner). Facing a long sentence in prison, he's given an offer by Noah Bain (Malachi Throne), the cop who caught him and is now the head of the SIA, an American intelligence agency. Mundy will be released from jail if he agrees to provide his unique skills to the government. The series served as a prototype for similar shows, such as White Collar, that also featured a Loveable Rogue.Not to be confused with the identically-named Reality Show that ran on the Discovery Channel between 2005 and 2007. That series has its own entry. | |

Bavarian Fire Drill: One of Al's frequent methods of theft. For example, he'll show up saying he's been assigned to evaluate the security around the target of the week. The guards usually buy this, giving Al the chance to get vital information for that episode's caper. | |

Also, Al doesn't take it well when Noah asks him to kidnap a Child Prodigy so they can force his older sister to divulge secret information in "A Matter of Gray Matter". Fortunately, the kid is not only willing to go with Al, but he knows the secret Noah wanted to learn in the first place. | |

Badass Grandpa/Cool Old Guy: How Alistair is depicted. In "The Second Time Around", he single-handedly captures a Cold Sniper who had tried to assassinate him. | |

Berserk Button | |
| It Takes a Thief (1968) / int_bc74ef27 | comment |
Berserk Button: Normally, Al is cool and unflappable during his missions. However, he doesn't react well when children or his friends are threatened. An example of the former is in the first season episode "The Radomir Minature", when Al actually threatens an enemy agent holding a little girl captive. The latter is shown in the second season story "The Galloping Skin Game", when Al angrily quits the SIA and demands to be sent back to prison when he mistakenly thinks Noah has set up friendly adversary Nick Grobbo to be killed. Also, Al doesn't take it well when Noah asks him to kidnap a Child Prodigy so they can force his older sister to divulge secret information in "A Matter of Gray Matter". Fortunately, the kid is not only willing to go with Al, but he knows the secret Noah wanted to learn in the first place. | |
