* Occurs in ''VideoGame/BaldursGateIII'''s Stone Lord questline. A new gang is terrorizing the local ThievesGuild, and TheQueenpin Nine-Fingers Keene tries to lure TheDon into a trap at the city's bank which is run by one of her lackeys. It fails spectacularly and they pull a VillainExitStageLeft with everyone's gold. The party is then tasked with enforcing this trope and getting the money back to save the economy & the Guild's street cred, with the treasurer Glitterbeard [[LampshadeHanging lampshading]] that it would be a bad idea to try to run off with it themselves. However, the PlayerCharacter can haggle to keep half of it while he calls in favors to cover the rest (or if he died in the earlier fight, they can keep it all without anyone ever knowing).
** The party can also [[EvilPaysBetter rob the low-security sections of the bank themselves]], as the vaults on the way to the encounter with Glitterbeard are left completely unguarded save for a few traps and difficult locks.

-->"The boss did call one thing correctly: just the three of us would seriously ''"not have been enough"''. Actually... it wouldn't have been enough no matter how many people we had."

* ''Film/RoadToPerdition'': Subverted in that Michael Sullivan Sr., the IrishMob hitman doing the robbery, knows whom he's robbing: Al Capone's organization. Sullivan (with the help of his eldest son) seizes Capone's dirty money in order to get Capone to turn over Connor Rooney, who murdered Sullivan's wife and youngest son. With them still refusing to budge, Sullivan resorts to killing John Rooney, Connor's father and father figure to Sullivan. This gets the Outfit to end their protection of Connor as Frank Nitti, Capone's right-hand man, feels that [[PsychopathicManchild Connor]] cannot be trusted with running his father's organization. Capone's associates subsequently sit back and do everything to let Sullivan Sr. up to Connor's room to kill him. However, they don't call off the gunman they'd hired to target Sullivan either.

* PlayedWith in ''Film/AbsolutePower'': Master thief Luther Whitney steals a fortune from a secret vault in billionaire Walter Sullivan's mansion, but witnesses the murder of Sullivan's TrophyWife. Sullivan is a genuinely legitimate businessman, but he blames the unknown thief for his wife's death and is motivated to hire a hit man rather than let the police catch him.
* ''Film/FortyEightHours'': The MacGuffin of the plot is a briefcase with half a million dollars in cash; Reggie Hammond explains to Inspector Jack Cates that ''"me and my friends hit a dealer during a sale... that's the kind of money nobody reports stolen."''
** In the sequel, ''Another 48 Hrs'', Reggie's first guess is that the hit men hired by "The Iceman" were sent after him in revenge for the robbery. [[spoiler:Then he realizes that the money means nothing, but the fact that [[TheBadGuysAreCops the Iceman is actually a police officer]] and Reggie can identify him makes him a major threat now that he's out of prison.]]
