"The Robbery" is the third episode of the first season of the American sitcom Seinfeld,[1] originally airing on NBC on June 7, 1990.[2] It was written by Matt Goldman, making this the first Seinfeld episode not written by the show's creators, Jerry Seinfeld and Larry David.[3]
In the episode, Jerry leaves Elaine in charge of his apartment while he goes on tour. When he returns, he finds the apartment has been robbed after Kramer left the front door open. While Kramer promises to find the robbers, George offers him the chance to move into a much better apartment—a move he accepts, allowing Elaine to move into Jerry's apartment and away from her annoying roommate Tina.
