We've all seen or read the great capers to steal the crown jewels / X-B/M/Trillion dollars / spy list / secret government underwear. Four million dollars through a traffic jam. They're intricately plotted, plothole-bending just-in-time capers that in all probabiliy would go horribly wrong in real life. But still great fun to watch.

What if the targeted booty was something you wouldn't ordinarily steal? Four million pairs of underpants. Everybody's left shoe. The world's plankton supplies. A nuclear power plant.

Two options here: either write the great heist where they're stealing something riduculous, like the aforementioned, or write the scene where Mr Brain explains to his henchmen why on earth they need it in the first place."Because it will destroy the world" is cheating. So is ransoming it all back for money. Use your imagination.

Bonus points if you combine them both into a heist story.
