A perfect example came up in a game I played earlier this afternoon:
 
9-player SnG, standard three get paid structure.  Four players are left, blinds are around 100-200, I'm the overwhelming chip leader and, best of all, the short stack is disconnected.  I'm making an absolute killing stealing blinds every single hand and neither of the other players want to get involved because they're scared of being knocked out when they know all they've got to do to cash is hang on until the disconnected player gets blinded out.
 
It finally comes to the hand where the disconnected player is all in for their last 20 chips in the big blind.  I call from the button, the small blind calls and we see the flop - 60 in the main pot, 360 in the side pot.  I've got nothing, I don't hit and I bet anyway.  The other live player folds, I take the side pot but the disconnected player takes the main pot.
 
The side pot was worth a lot more than the main pot so that's justification enough for me stealing it but even if there were no side pot I'd still have done the same thing.  Keeping the disconnected player in and the other two scared is just too lucrative and the risks of letting the disconnected player stay are absolutely minimal.
 
Of course the other two players proceeded to lose it at me and call me all sorts of names.  Then they both tilted off their chips pretty quick once the bubble actually burst.  I LOLd :p
