Plan the Perfect Crime

[David Floyd]

Hypothetically of course

So, the perfect crime. Lot's of movies, books, and TV shows are based on people trying to commit crimes, and these people have elaborate (perfect?) plans. But something always goes wrong. There's a traitor in their midst, the hero is in the right place at the right time, the plan had a deadly, but hidden, flaw, whatever.

So, how would YOU plan the perfect crime? What would you do, and how would you NOT get caught?

Run the red light... when no-one is looking. Moohahaha!

I would steal from david floyd. being such a radical libertarian he'd realize it was his fault for letting me take his stuff and simply be better prepared next time.

Obviously you are unfamiliar with my beliefs about personal responsibility, yavoon

Agathon can enlighten you, if need be.

Now, stop threadjacking. This is a "fun" thread, not a "serious debate" thread. We're all friends here. This is the happy zone.

If you plan on leaving the country anyways, just pull an eBay-Fraud. Bevore the betrayed even realise they wont get any stuff from you, you already left with their money. They know your name, so what? Noone will ever find you since betrayel is only minor crime (at least in germany), meaning you will only be "searched" (well they check if you are still at home...) inside your nation. You can move freely within the EU, so pick any country you like... for those with paranoia go to a country where you dont have to register, uk, particular london seems to be a good choice. Easy as it gets...

sure thats easy danny, but that doesnt satisfy my need for bloodlust. if i were to get away with a crime, it would have to be murder.

first off, i'd have to pick a random person, or at least a seemingly random one. maybe i'd do a "criss cross" with someone i have never met before, where i kill someone for them, and they kill someone for me, with no connections between us other than our chance meeting.

as for how to kill the person, i'd play it by ear, although i'm sure i'd force some suffering. no bullets here.

after i waste the victim i could have fun pondering the ways of disposing of the body. i'd probably hack it into pieces and leave them in the forests of upstate new york. the bears would have a field day hiding my edivence.

Make a turn in my car without using the turn signal.

If I wanted someone dead, knew when (s)he would be taking a plane trip, and had the address of someone connected to Al-Qaida, I'd send the following (dropped in a randomly selected mailbox, with fingerprints carefully avoided) to that address:

"For your next attack, I believe you are considering shooting down a commercial airliner. If you bring down [my victim's flight number] on this particular day, I will pay you $10,000. I will send instructions for receiving the money after the attack is successful."

If the plane did get shot down, I'd hide the money somewhere, then send a letter with the hiding place to the same address, from a different mailbox. Or maybe I'd just forget about it and stiff them.

This plan is far from perfect in terms of making sure the intended victim is killed; the terrorists might simply ignore the offer, since they have no assurance that I'll keep my end of the bargain. But even if the worst happens--my letters are intercepted by the government--my exposure is nil. Nothing in any letter reveals who I am, who my intended victim is, or even that there is a particular intended victim.

Hm, ok and how do you meet this other person who is in need for a murder xchange + how can you be sure he wont talk to the police about you... oh I guessed the second one, but I got the feeling your "partner" could make some guesses too

Do you want ANY crime, or crime with a purpose?

[Zopperoni]

Heh, that reminds me of "Strangers on a Train" =)

[DanielXY]

any crime has a purpose

[Az]

yeah, but I mean like a purposeful purpose, not "American Psycho" purpose.
