"One Last Job" The 23 episode of  "Cartoon Networks" hit show "Adventer time." Showed us that the main character side kick (Jake) was a thief before he was a hero. He never wanted Finn (the main character in the show) to know this because he never wanted Finn to become a thief as well. In the 13th episode "City of Thieves" a magic barrier protected the King's tower, Jake already knew he couldn't enter the tower because of what he has done in is past. Because of this Jake stole the red boots on purpose, that way that would be the "reason" Jake couldn't enter the tower with Finn, so he would have to break the truth to Finn.
