Lightning Quick Larcenist is a fake ending in Infiltrating the Airship. Despite being a fail, the fake ending is still referenced in Fleeing the Complex but does NOT continue into Completing the Mission.
Plot
Using the Sticky Hand to make his way over, Henry disembarks from Charles Calvin's helicopter and attaches to the door of the Airship's cargo hold. There, he locates a safe inside and prepares to steal it.
- [X] Zero-Point Energy - Henry points his finger at the safe, firing a laser that allows him to pick it up. He however slams the safe into the cargo door above him, which then falls on top of Henry. (Message: I don't really know where you were planning to put that.)
- Ball 'n Chain - Latching a ball-n-chain onto the safe, Henry then kicks the ball off the ship, sending the safe crashing into him. Henry and the safe are rescued by Charles' helicopter. The two are brought on board, the safe is opened, revealing... only a stuffed Teddy bear. The game ends with Captain Galeforce face-palming in complete disappointment and Rupert Price raising his assault rifle towards Henry. (Message: A winner is you!). This fake ending leads to the "You win!" achievement.

Zero-Point Energy is the technology Syndrome uses in this movie. It was also called this in the legacy version, but it wasn't changed to avoid copyright, presumably because Zero-Point Energy is also a scientific term and therefore impossible to copyright.
The Legend of Zelda
The Ball n' Chain is from The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess

This "ending's" fail message, "A winner is you!" is a reference to this 1986 NES game, which was poorly translated when released in English.
Trivia
- The Legacy version of the game includes the Music in the Fail Message. However, It was known as Chaoz Looptasy.
- Also in the legacy version is once the memories show, the credits will show, but once the music starts to slow down, the credits will go out before showing the fail.
- This is the only fake ending in the entire Henry Stickmin series.
- However, the S.S. Annie choice in Ghost Inmate and Full Speed choice in Stickmin Space Resort include the ending music or a MISSION COMPLETE icon for a split-second, before showing the fail.
- A reference to Lightning Quick Larcenist is shown in Fleeing The Complex Teaser Trailer. When Dmitri Johannes Petrov and Grigori Olyat discuss the conflicting reports about what happened between Henry and the Toppat Clan, Grigori mentions that there is "something about a teddy bear".
