Changed w/o discussion: Panty Thief

Image removed on March 17th with the reason: "Demonstrates absolutely nothing about the topic."

The image wasn't terrific indeed, but it should have been discussed; I've sent the culprit the standard editing issue message.

Previous image:

Have to agree with the edit reason. That was a classic, pure Just A Face And A Caption. I have no idea how it relates to the trope at all.

The image on Impossible Thief seems like it would be a better fit here.

Suggestion◊

• from the examples,the first three frames?

That first link isn't loading. Either the first panel of the EC strip or the second and third together work for me, all together seems a bit much. Impossible Thief's pic works fine where it is.

Happosai◊ from Ranma One Half?

Excellent example but nothing in that says he stole it. Having him being chased by girls would be a big help, Anyone got the Ranma first movie DVD? I can't take screens of my VHS copy... Damn I feel old now.

I think it's pretty clear, actually, but here's◊ an alternative shot of him.

I don't find that particularly clear.

The issue here is quality of the pictures, otherwise they are very good illustrations. (Here's another one◊ with the same problem.

I might find some proper shots if I take the time to peruse my DVD collection....

what was supposed to be in the first link◊

That's a good one.

That big bag carried on the shoulder is a fairly common stereotype in Japan for a thief.

I'd rather not see him at all, but sure, the image illustrates the trope. It's maybe a bit dark.

What do you have against Happy's face?

He's the single worst thing in that series.

14's the best suggestion so far.

Lightly bumping so we can some action going in this thread

Support Happosai pic. I have also the caption "...and not only panties"

Bump; anyone else for 14? Crowner?

If that wasn't clear earlier, I too vote for Happôsai as page picture.

Re-bump; another vote or two for 14 and we can run with it.
