* ''Manga/AyashiNoCeres'' has this as the whole backstory - Goddess wants revenge because a guy stole her celestial clothes while she wasn't watching. Granted, her rage is understandable since she's stuck on Earth until she gets it back. [[spoiler: The actual truth is an aversion, though ultimately tragic for both the goddess and the guy]].
* This happens to Goku in a {{filler}} episode of ''Manga/DragonBall''. He chases the thief naked and manages to scare him into dropping Goku's clothes, but the thief escapes with the Dragon Radar.



* It is done to Lemnear in the first chapter to the ''Anime/LegendOfLemnear'' manga.
* In ''Manga/LoveHina'' the girls of Hinata House get their clothes stolen by a group of monkeys while in a hot spring.
* A variation happens in ''Anime/MaicchinguMachikoSensei'' in a number of episodes. The title character goes swimming or skinny dipping and gets her suit and/or clothes stolen by her students... sometimes while she is still wearing them.
* Semi-example in ''Anime/MaiHime'', where the students go swimming, and someone steals the girls' underwear. [[spoiler:Actually, monsters did it.]]
* A few filler villains in ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'' have their clothes stolen by the main cast to use in a scheme to see what was under Kakashi's mask, apparently because the villains never actually publicly showed up at the bath and the main cast assumed someone forgot them. Fortunately for the villains, they had extras.
