And in the (lets face it, relatively unlikely) case that you have some degree of fame already, that will likely work. However in the general case, elude arrest for the first initial hours after a non-news worthy crime and you will never be arrested. The best way to do this in the worst case scenario? Run.

People have the tendency to greatly overestimate the usefulness of security camera footage in solving crime. Personally, I blame Hollywood.
