• Downplayed: After a minute or so, a single security guard catches up to Bob.
• Subverted: A security guard appears after five minutes only to realize that Bob is long gone.
• Double Subverted: He then breaks out his teleporter and instantly hunts down Bob.

• Deconstructed: The Security Guard gets whiplash from his quick response.
• Reconstructed: The next time Bob robs the store, the guard is in a neck brace.
• Lampshaded: "How do security guards have such a quick reaction time?"
• Invoked: At the 500m, everyone puts their money on the security guard.
