* In the ''Series/MurderShe Wrote'' episode "Always a Thief", Dennis Stanton is investigating the theft of a valuable coin, which the audience is shown was actually by the owner's son.

* In ''Literature/TwoLittleGirlsInBlue'', the FBI start to believe that the Frawley twins were kidnapped by someone who knew the Frawleys didn't have much money but that Steve Frawley had started working for a wealthy investment firm, leading them to suspect it was set up by someone high up in the company who knows how to move and hide large sums of cash. Suspicion particularly falls on chief financial advisor Gregg Stanford - who is vying for the top job, has never been afraid to step on people to achieve his ambitions and may be in need of cash quickly if his wife divorces him - and director Norman Bond - who also covets the CEO position, hired Steve at the company above all other candidates, and had an acrimonious divorce from his ex-wife who subsequently went missing. [[spoiler:It's Gregg, although Norman's hands aren't clean either]].
