"The Robbery" is the third episode of NBC sitcom Seinfeld. It aired on June 7, 1990.

Michael Richards (as Kramer) invented his unique way of entering Jerry's apartment in this episode. He missed his cue and thought he would make up for lost time by running and sliding on the floor.

[edit] Plot

Jerry is robbed after Kramer leaves the former's door open. Kramer vows to find Jerry's stuff. As a real estate broker, George finds a potential new apartment for Jerry, but then covets it for himself. The group argues about who is to receive the apartment, (with Elaine getting either George or Jerry's apartment, depending on who moves) until finally, disgusted with each other, they give the apartment to someone else. After seeing how much the new owners enjoy the place, the decision is regretted.

[edit] Trivia

During the shooting of the episode, an earthquake occurred, prompting Jason Alexander to stand underneath the doorway of the set for protection.
