{{quote|'''Nobby:''' Well, we could always lure some more people into this alley and try it again.
'''Colon:''' Nobby, we're alone in a foreign port, and you're dressed only in your, and I use this word with feeling, unmentionables. This is not the time to start talking about luring people into alleys. There could be talk. }}
** Done more successfully in ''[[Discworld/Witches Abroad|Witches Abroad]]'', when Granny Weatherwax and Nanny Ogg need gowns in order to go to the ball. They specifically look for women their sizes so that they don't need to knock out too many people.
* ''[[Harry Potter (novel)|Harry Potter]]''
** ''[[Harry Potter and The Chamber of Secrets]]'': Ron and Harry sneak Crabbe and Goyle a sleeping potion, stuff them in a broom closet, and steal their shoes and several hairs to complete a Polyjuice Potion disguise. The film makes this a straighter example as they also steal Crabbe and Goyle's uniforms, since Slytherin uniforms are different from Gryffindor uniforms in the movies. (The stated reason was because Crabbe and Goyle are freaking tanks, but that works too. In the book, of course, Hermione planned ahead and nabbed some spare ones.)

* In the ''[[Vorkosigan Saga]]'' novel ''Shards of Honor'', some members of Cordelia's crew ambush a Barrayaran patrol and steal their uniforms, as part of their plan to rescue her.
* ''[[Mad Magazine]] Super Special Fall 1980''. In ''The Moronic Woman'' (a ''[[Bionic Woman]] parody''), Jammy Summons (Jaime Sommers) and Oscular (Oscar Goldman) have infiltrated the enemy palace. In order to get a guard's uniform for Oscar to wear, Jammy walks around knocking out guards until they find one who is Oscular's size. Oscular puts on the uniform and they go to the office of the dictator.
