Hero Stole My Bike/Playing With

Basic Trope: The hero needs to get somewhere fast so he steals a ride.
 * Straight: Bob is in a hurry to stop Alice from destroying the world with a doom-ray so he steals a kid's bike and promises to return it as he's riding away.
 * Exaggerated: Bob is leading an army to stop Alice but since their tank is out of fuel they must steal bikes from hundreds of kids all over the city.
 * Justified: Alice is trying to destroy the world after all, that guy should feel proud that his bike just helped save it.
 * Inverted: Bob gives away his bike so he has an excuse to be late.
 * A sentient, evil bike kidnaps the hero.
 * Subverted:
 * Bob is running from Alice and sees a guy with a bike. He runs to the guy, grabs the bike and... throws it at Alice's face and starts running!
 * Double Subverted: While Alice is dazed and confused he grabs the bike and rides away.
 * Subverted: Bob steals a bike from a brawny guy who starts chasing him. Bob yells "I'll bring it ba--AUGH" right as the guy catches him and steals his wallet.
 * Double Subverted: As the bike owner is rifling through Bob's mound of expired coupons, Bob grabs the bike and rides away.
 * Subverted: Bob grabs the bike from a kid but immediately rides it into the kid's beefy dad who isn't very happy about it.
 * Double Subverted: The kid's dad knows what's at stake so he lets Bob by.
 * Parodied: Bob steals a pink tricycle from a little girl who starts bawling so he promises to buy her ice cream when he gets back.
 * Deconstructed: Bob ends up going to court and paying a hefty sum for the stolen and subsequently damaged bike and emotional damage to the kid who had his new bike stolen on his birthday.
 * Reconstructed: Bob returns the bike when he's finished with it and pays generously for the trouble. If there are any damages he pays for it with interest.
 * Zig Zagged: Bob attempts to steal the bike, but the owner is a brawny guy who doesn't want it stolen so Bob throws some money at him and jumps on the bike. Which has a bicycle lock on it. So he steals the skateboard from under a passer-by.
 * Averted: Bob just walks.
 * Enforced: The story is Merchandise Driven and the bike is being advertised. Bob steals it because it's "faster than competing brand names."
 * Lampshaded: "Look, I know it might sound unlikely, but it's vital to the safety of the free world that you give me your Ferrari!"
 * Invoked: Alice slashes the tires on Bob's car then, wearing a fake mustache, stands around innocently with her bike waiting for Bob to steal it.
 * Defied:
 * Seeing Bob eyeing a kid's bike, Alice tackles the kid and throws the bike in front of traffic.
 * Bob decides to put Honor Before Reason, and decides that it's bad to steal regardless of circumstances.
