I guess what I'm looking for is kind of a variation on Light's Out, Somebody Dies, that I've often seen parodied in TV shows and cartoons, except that instead of murder, the crime is a robbery, usually of something the victim was wearing, like jewelry or even clothing. I've seen it played for laughs quite a lot, but never played straight, wich left me wondering if there actually is a trope like that or at least where the parodies came from.
