You are wrong indeed. Police in Europe in general and specifically Austria is not only very active in this particular regard (atm skimmers), but did also use forensic methods in the past to publicly post pictures of the guy installing the camera, because apparently they sometimes film themselves during installation of the skimmers. Also, particularly this spot in town is _plastered_ with dozens of cctv cameras, so the guys might have been filmed during installation. Also, the skimmers are nowadays usually left in place for only a few hours, and the gathered data immediately used and then discarded, to avoid being catched by the police before people even realize anything. So the police is very happy if they catch devices in the wild. Source: I live in Vienna, and I follow the news.
