Bag of Kidnapping

"Roquefort: Duchess! Kittens! Watch out for the ... (Edgar traps them in a bag) sack."

- The Aristocats

"Penelope: Boy, am I sleepy.

Hooded Claw: Good, it's time you hit the sack (Evil Laugh) literally!"

- The Perils of Penelope Pitstop

A tactic mostly seen in Western Animation: The villain usually sneaks up behind the target and throws a large burlap sack over her head and carries her off to his hideout; this usually happens to a Distressed Damsel or Snooping Little Kid. The target is almost always female, but it can happen to male characters, just not as often.
