Crime and Evidence...

People find ways of stealing money, we wouldn't even dream about:

Several letters are identical in appearance in the Latin and Cyrillic alphabets. However, while “apple” and “аpplе” (with the first and last letters printed in Cyrillic) may look the same to the naked eye, search engines will treat them differently. This difference is being used to obscure the presence of bids for government contracts, according to Gazeta.ru, which cites the personal blog of a Russian search engine designer.

That is ingenious. But this?

Thieves have used a digger to remove a cash machine from a supermarket in County Fermanagh.

After taking the money, they burnt the cash machine- to destroy the evidence, I think.

But whether you could be caught with the incriminating stuff or not, you don't do this:

Chicago police were called to a Logan Square home early Tuesday by a man who claimed he was robbed of cash and $2,000 worth of marijuana.
...The man told police he heard a loud noise in his home and discovered three men who demanded drugs and money, which the man refused to give them, (Chicago Police Capt. Marc) Buslk said.
The victim said the men hit him over the head with what appeared to be a nightstick, bound him with duct tape and put a pillowcase over his head, Buslik said.

The Man was not arrested.

Finally, Customs officials in Nepal could find it difficult to get caught with ANY incriminating evidence-

Nepal has ordered its customs officials to wear pocketless pants, with a view to discouraging bribes.
