Okay, so you found a dead body. It seems to died in some kind of matter. What do you do with it? In [[Real Life]], one would report the discovery to the police (or possibly to the family of the deceased). In this trope, however, you steal from the dead, scavenging anything of value or use. It's not as if anyone is going to find out.
 
Not to be mistaken for [[Grave Robbing]], that's stealing the actually corpse or parts.
 
This is behavior practicedpractised by a [[Kleptomaniac Hero]]. Compare and contrast with [[Plunder]].
