* In ''VideoGame/{{Grandia}}'' Justin and Sue come upon Feena's cabin and go inside. While there Sue admires her clothes hanging up and Justin scolds her and takes them away from her only to discover just what it is he's holding and then Feena comes in seeing him holding it.

** They made a triumphant return in ''[[VideoGame/DissidiaFinalFantasy Dissidia 012 Duodecim]]'', where their name was retranslated as [[BlindIdiotTranslation 'Stretch Boxers']]. Hilariously, they're one of the crafting items for Tifa's [[InfinityPlusOneSword ultimate weapon]]''.

* In ''VideoGame/{{Grandia}}}'' Justin and Sue come upon Feena's cabin and go inside. While there Sue admires her clothes hanging up and Justin scolds her and takes them away from her only to discover just what it is he's holding and then Feena comes in seeing him holding it.

* A side quest in ''VideoGame/FableIII'' involves finding a pair of Reaver's underwear for his biggest fan. The other nightstands in the mansion contain condoms and... Summon Creature Potions.

* The ''VideoGame/{{Lunar}}'' series has a reputation for GettingCrapPastTheRadar, so it can hardly pass on the opportunity to discuss the contents of people's underwear drawers. Additionally, a few [=NPC=]s possess pictures of the heroines in states of undress, which they are horrified/enraged to find out about and snatch away...before handing them to the main character for safekeeping.

** The near-future chapter of features a ChainOfDeals that, if kept at for a ridiculously long time, will result in [="TaekoPants."=] After Taeko finds out that you've been paying someone to steal her clothing, you'll also receive a [="TaekoPunch."=] You can also receive "[[{{Squick}} Watanabe Boxers]]" and "[[{{Squick}} Director Boxers]]".
** In Sundown's chapter, you can swipe Annie's nightie if you send her off to set a trap (otherwise she busts into the room and freaks out).

* Inverted in ''VideoGame/PaperMarioTheThousandYearDoor'' - Jolene has a trouble board issue that she needs handled with discretion. She's hired someone in Rogueport who's been known to make things...''disappear'', and it's your job to pick up everything in a supply closet that needs to...disappear and haul it to him, without telling anyone else about it. Turns out what she needs eliminated are [[spoiler: about 20 pairs of dirty wrestling battle trunks.]]

* If you did this in ''VideoGame/BaldursGate'', ''VideoGame/BaldursGate II'', or the ''Throne of Bhaal'' expansion, there was an easter-egg enchantment recipe for an impressive suit of armor.

One of the key elements of the KleptomaniacHero is that he will search though people's drawers. Some games will lampshade what you are doing by rewarding you with ... well, people's drawers.

* In ''VideoGame/BatenKaitos'', you can search a locker in the School of Magic and find girl's clothes. The game scolds you for messing with it. [[spoiler:Amusingly, you get the same message when playing as Xelha.]]
** Interestingly, if you [[spoiler:search Xelha's bed in the Ice Palace]], you get the message 'It's not proper to [[spoiler:search a young lady's bed]]', [[spoiler:even when you're playing as Xelha. You can't even search your own bed.]]
*** FridgeBrilliance moment here - the game's not scolding the character, but the player instead.

* The ''Citadel'' DLC for ''VideoGame/MassEffect3'' lets you throw a fancy party for your crew at the end of it, most of which consists of Shepard touring the premises to talk to their many friends. One of these encounters is resident PhantomThief Kasumi Goto rifling through Shepard's wardrobe and being surprised to find normal underwear. She was expecting them to have a camo pattern.

* The ''Franchise/{{Lunar}}'' series has a reputation for GettingCrapPastTheRadar, so it can hardly pass on the opportunity to discuss the contents of people's underwear drawers. Additionally, a few [=NPC=]s possess pictures of the heroines in states of undress, which they are horrified/enraged to find out about and snatch away...before handing them to the main character for safekeeping.

* In ''[[SuperMarioBros Mario Golf: Advance Tour]]'', if you are male and look in your female partner's closet, it will note that her (default:Ella) clothes are inside and she will get mad at you.

* In ''VideoGame/MogekoCastle'', Yonaka has access to an infinite amount of Moge-ko's panties.

* In the PlayByPost game ''Roleplay/AShockToTheSystem'', Robert finds a flash drive in an ammo cache. It turns out to be someone's PornStash.

* ''VideoGame/TalesOfPhantasia'' [[InvertedTrope Inverted]], you can find a magazine(equipment of Klath, who equip books) in one of the old men's drawers, and the magaqzine's description besically tells you it's a dirty magazine.

* It's been mentioned a few times in ''Webcomic/TheInexplicableAdventuresOfBob'' that it's impossible to find anything hidden in Bob's seemingly bottomless sock drawer. He once hid a [[EarthShatteringKaboom world-destroying bomb]] in there for safe keeping.

* Parodied in ''VideoGame/{{Undertale}}''. If you take a look at Toriel's dresser: "Scandalous! ...It's Toriel's sock drawer." However, you can't take anything from it, as KleptomaniacHero is otherwise averted in this game.

* In Cloud's flashback in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII'' you find "[[http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/File:Tifa%27s_Orthopedic_Underwear.png orthopedic underwear]]" in Tifa's bedroom, ''which he puts in his pocket''. Since Cloud is actually telling the story to everyone, Tifa is not amused by this tidbit.

* As part of the trading subquest of ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaLinksAwakening'', you have to give a mermaid her bikini top back that she lost and has ended up in a fishing pond (previous to this, she doesn't jump up onto the rock that she's supposed to sit on and diving near her causes her to scream and swim away, think about that).

* Many crates and barrels in ''Franchise/TheElderScrolls'' games can have just stuff like folded cloth, casual clothing, fruits and vegetables, and other things.

* Happens briefly in ''BlueDragon'' looking through Kluke's house.

* In ''VideoGame/CaveStory'', you can search though [[RidiculouslyHumanRobot Curly]]'s room and find her panties. They're hidden at the end of a totally darkened passageway which you'll most likely be unable to find without checking the map or knowing where it is in advance, so this is for only the most dedicated of kleptomaniacs. In the original, they're just an EasterEgg, but in ''[[VideoGameRemake Cave Story+]]'', they unlock [[AnotherSideAnotherStory Curly Story]].

* In ''ShiningForce II'', Bowie can search the princess's closet and find "A small piece of silk" that results in the text "Bowie is flustered".
