Baldur’s Gate 3 is the modern king of that. Early example for instance, a boy steals a man’s locket. The man is obviously upset about that and you can intervene and either side with the man or the boy.
Or while everyone is distracted you sneak up behind the boy and steal the locket from him. And when you then convince him to give it back he’s amazed that someone managed to rob him.
Then you can give it back to the man and steal it again and hear him commenting about that.

You wouldn’t shoot a policeman.
You wouldn’t steal his helmet.
You wouldn’t go to the toilet in it.
You wouldn’t give the helmet to his grieving widow… then steal it again!
