Thinking about committing a crime, but hemming and hawing over what to wear when you do it? It's a tough decision, as -- just like when you're living within the boundaries of the law -- what you wear when ripping somebody off says a lot about you as a thief, and you want to send the right message.

My recommendation? Go with what the professionals use -- wear Nike.

British police are now using a Footwear Intelligence Technology system to create a database of footprints left at crime scenes, and they've subsequently learned that Nikes are by far the preferred choice by thieves, muggers, murderers, etc. The Air Max 95 was particularly popular, so if you're unsure about which Nike is right for your socially deviant activities, that's a safe bet.

As for the rest of your outfit, I'd recommend something in black -- especially if you'll be working at night. Happy thieving!
