How many times have people gotten away with something similar without every being discovered, though? It could be very many.

  There's no such thing as a perfect crime.

    How would you even know that a perfect crime was accomplished. Is it perfect if we know about it?

    Plenty of “good enough” crimes though. No such thing as a perfect crime detection system either.

      Indeed. I think most people know of very many things they and their friends and family would've been ticketed or arrested for if an officer had been present and interested. Running red lights, speeding, media piracy, unreported income from side jobs, broken regulations, sharing prescription drugs, etc.

    I transported Durian on the bus in Singapore about two years ago. I was not found out. (And even my confession here won't get me into trouble.)
