* ''Mindstar Rising'' by Creator/PeterFHamilton. After completing a successful mission, Greg Mandel is ambushed on the way home. He grabs for his Armscor stun gun only to find it's missing and he realises he's no idea where he left it. Ironically it turns out the gun was stolen off him by his employer Julia Evans who was (incorrectly) worried Greg had changed sides, and she later uses it to save her life from TheMole who ''has'' sold her out.

* ''Series/FraggleRock'': In one episode, Red is getting ready to take part in a big race called the All-Day Cross-Cave Beanbarrow Race Finals—but Clinging Creepers, which wrap around their victims to ensnare them, have been seen by Table Rock Cavern. They can only be repelled by the smell of fresh flowers, so the Bouquet Brigades string flowers around and make floral headbands for everyone. During the race, Red makes a wrong turn and ends up at Table Rock Cavern. Too late, she realizes her headband is gone (it had been snagged by a spring vine) and that the Clinging Creepers are slithering toward her.

* ''WesternAnimation/RickAndMorty'': In the episode "Vindicators 3: Return of World Ender", Rick, Morty, and a team of superheroes are stuck in a high-tech death trap (that wasn't made by World Ender; the previous night, Rick got drunk, killed World Ender, and converted his lair into a death trap because he resents the superheroes). After discovering this, Rick immediately tries to teleport away, but apparently, he left his portal gun in the bathroom while vomiting in the sink. Rick is therefore trapped with the people he drunkenly tried to kill, and IHatePastMe ensues.

* ''VideoGame/{{Shadowrun}}'' on the Sega Genesis has a double dose of this. The first quest in the game is to scrape together 250 nuyen so you can get your brother Michael's stuff out of storage - it may hold some clues as to why Michael was killed in a firefight. Once you get his stuff, you not only find a credstick for 500 nuyen, but also a Doc Wagon wrist band, which summons immediate medical aid once the user's vitals drop to dangerous levels (like during firefights.)

* In games built on the GUMSHOE system, there's (sometimes) a stat called "Preparedness" that exists specifically to avert this; by spending a point of it, your character can have somehow ''known'' the current situation was coming, and thanks to their foresight they just so happen to have brought along the one item they currently need, but which - until the player spent that point - was very definitely securely stored in the bank safety deposit box all the way across town (or wherever). It can get very funny when the item in question is something extremely large or very heavy and a character somehow [[HammerSpace had it in their pocket all along]].
