Cog Thief is a Trolley minigame. It can be played by up to four Toons.

Objective

The objective of the minigame is to throw their Whole Cream Pies at the Cogs to defeat them, while protecting four gag barrels in the center of the arena. If Toons lose all four barrels, a message at the end would say "NO BARRELS SAVED." If Toons save at least one barrel, they win and receive jellybeans. Cogs not only try to steal barrels but can also chase after Toons. If a Toon interacts with a Cog, they are launched into the air and fall back down.

Controls

The following controls are default but can be altered from the Options menu based on a player's personal preferences.

Control	Action
Arrow keys (← ↑ ↓ →)	Move and turn
Delete (fn + Delete on macOS) or Alt	Throw a pie

Trivia

During the Alpha stage of Toontown Rewritten, Cog Thief was originally named Robot Thief. After the Cogs' debut, the minigame was renamed to Cog Thief.
In Toontown Online, Cog Thief was played from an overhead view. The Toontown Rewritten Team changed the minigame to have a standard view.
- A scrapped Toon Tag arena for Daisy Gardens from Toontown Online is also used for Toontown Rewritten's Cog Thief.

-==Origin==
-Sir Max proposed the idea to create a game where robots try to steal barrels while toons try to stop them by throwing pies at them. When asked the budget, the Toon Council turned him down and scrapped the idea.
-On his way to go find "public land" to build his trolley game on, a loony labs scientist stops him and offers to build him the robots needed for the game. Once finished, Max returned to the Toon Council and showed them the finished project, which they accepted and added it to the trolley, but would remove it if it got bad reviews.
 ==Objective==
-The objective of the game is to use pies to protect four barrels in the center of the arena from robots until the time runs out. If you lose all of the barrels, you lose the game and receive the number of jellybeans accumlated. If you save at least one barrel, you win and receive thirty jellybeans. There are varying types of robots such as Downsizers, Ambulance Chasers and Movers and Shakers. There are two types of AI patterns, "chasers" and "stealers". Chasers chase after the toon and attempt to hinder their progress by throwing them up in the air, similar to the cogs (robots) in the [[Maze Game]], then blowing up. All Chasers stop moving when a toon is in the air, so they are easy to spot. Stealers go straight for any barrel still left on the field and attempt to steal them, ignoring any toons.
