* A lot of the filler arcs of ''[[GetBackers]]'' qualify as The Caper. Even though the titular characters only steal items to return then to their original owners, sometimes the definition of "original owner" can get really fuzzy (especially with Clayman).
* In an episode of ''[[Keroro Gunsou]]'', Momoka, Natsumi, and Moa form the "[[Phantom Thief]] Troupe: More Peach Summer" to steal the painting "The Birth of Venus"... which turns out to be {{spoiler|[[Embarrassing Old Photo|an embarrassing portrait of Momoka as a baby, naked]]}}.
* The point of virtually all ''[[Lupin III]]'' stories.
* In an early episode of ''[[Armored Trooper VOTOMS]]'', Chirico and company hijack a [[Unobtainium|jijirium]] shipment.
* The setup for ''[[Princess Principal]]'' is pure Stale Beer [[Spy Fiction]]— morally-ambiguous agents on both sides, nobody being portrayed as pure good or pure evil, and the agents' lives at stake if things go wrong — but more often than not, a mission plays out as if it was [[The Caper]].
