== [[Literature]] ==

* [[Patrick McManus]], in one of his books, tells a story involving an over-zealous Boy Scout leader who not only goes skinny dipping, but does so in extremely cold water. Predictably, the disgruntled scouts steal his clothes. He roars back into camp "wearing" only a bit shrubbery arranged around his privates, latches onto to who he thinks are the culprits and drags them away for a dunking. And of course, two of the troop's den mothers have shown up, and witness all of this.

* The ''[[Star Trek: The Original Series]]'' novel ''My Enemy My Ally'' by [[Diane Duane]] has Kirk motivate Sulu to do some very ''creative'' combat maneuvers by threatening to tell a certain female lieutenant who swiped her clothing from poolside the month before.

* Happens to Ivan Bezdomny in ''[[The Master and Margarita]]'' when he chases Woland across Moscow. When he later shows up in his fellow writers' restaurant in underpants (and wielding an icon... long story), they are not amused.

* One ''[[Encyclopedia Brown]]'' story was Brown solving the case of who stole a boy's clothes, leaving him naked in the woods.

* In one of the earliest ''[[Don Camillo]]'' short stories, the title character took a swim in the river on a very hot day — and young Communist Smilzo swiped his clothes, then brought a bunch of other Reds so they could poke fun at the priest as he came out of the water in only his underdrawers. But it stopped being fun for them when Don Camillo came ashore in a minefield left over from [[World War II]] ... that was so dangerous the government had given up on trying to clear it. Smilzo apologetically ''walked into the minefield to bring the priest his clothing''. Don Camillo absolved him, and they walked out together.

 

* A ''[[Seinfeld]]'' plot involved this having happened to George at one time.

* In the first episode of ''[[The Sleepover Club]]'' TV series, the M and M's clothes are stolen by one of the girls after a swimming lesson. After they apparently take ages to change, the teacher makes the boys come out (after hearing them claim that they can't find their clothes), otherwise they will receive detention. They were forced to come out of the changing rooms using a float to cover their penises.

* In an episode of ''[[Girls In Love]]'', the girls take revenge on Magda's ex by doing this. They steal his togs while he is in the shower at the pool, and then remove all of his clothes from his locker.

== [[Newspaper Comics]] ==

* ''[[The Phantom (comic strip)|The Phantom]]'': There are at least two storylines that begin with the Phantom's clothes being stolen while he's swimming in a river. In both cases, the problem is not naked antics, but rather what the person who stole the clothes [[Costume Copycat|does while wearing them]].

* In ''Alice'', the title character and her friends Dot and Joanne go skinny-dipping, putting all their clothes in a plastic bag, which a dog then carries off in its mouth. They share a large cardboard box in order to get to their respective homes. Dot and Joanne, but not Alice, make it indoors undetected.

* In a ''[[Penny and Aggie]]'' flashback, teenage Lynda takes two friends skinny-dipping in order to teach them to celebrate their bodies, free of the "[[Straw Feminist|repressive male patriarchy]]." Her lesson backfires when Rob and Henry steal their clothes, whereupon one friend fears she'll "turn lesbo" after spending too much time naked with girls, while the other is turned on by the possibility that Rob was checking out her breasts.

 

== [[Western Animation]] ==

* This also happened in the ''[[Gummi Bears]]'' episode "Friar Tum", to a trio of monks that were taking a little swim in a nearby lake. The troll trio that the Gummis had outsmarted several times in the past were the ones who stole the monks' robes to disguise themselves.

* Likewise, ''The [[Little Lulu]] Show'' episode, "Five Little Babies", had the boys get their clothes stolen by Lulu and Annie while they were swimming, as revenge for a prank that they played on Lulu earlier.
