OK, this one's a bit lame, but apart from 3 points for speeding this is the only thing I've ever been caught for.
When I was 6, there was a run down old hospital behind our house. One Saturday afternoon, whilst peering in through a broken window, my brothers and I found boxes and boxes of milk bottle tops. At the time there was a Blue Peter Guide Dogs appeal, which took in bottle tops and somehow turned them into fully trained labrador puppies (UK readers will know). So we climbed in and carted off about 10 crates of the things, and were just getting them back over the garden fence when the police turned up. They were really heavy about it, which I'm not embarrassed to say turned me into a blubbering snot-dripping mess. It was about half way through the grilling, just as they were ready to cart the three of us off to Borstal, that my mother turned up and by somehow working out through my wails and sobs what we were doing and why, went into fishwife mode at the Policemen. They at first got all angry back, but she stood her ground until they pretended to radio control for instructions, then came back saying they would let us off with a warning.
Finally my tears dried up, at least up to the point when my mother got the three of us inside and gave us a good battering
Blue Peter got the bottle tops BTW, so in my case at least crime did pay. I like to think someone's life was improved anyway.

Fracking codgers.
Mmm... well, not sure I want to admit my crime. I don't have any formal criminal record, but I suppose my act could be chalked up to teenage stupidity. During a slumber party I went to when I was younger, we decided it would be fun to break into a golf course, steal the plastic rakes they use to rake the sand pits and put them all over someone's lawn as a practical joke. My dad found out, gave me a stern lecture on how I could be prosecuted in juvie court if the people we targeted turned us in. He then made me and the rest of the girls get the rakes back from our "victims" and return the rakes to the course. You can bet I never did anything like that again....
I've also had a few traffic tickets to my name.

Well, I got out of a speeding ticket once thanks to the glorious miracle bra. (I was more or less flirting with the guy 'cuz he was HOT HOT HOT!) That's the closest I've ever come.
Oh, uncaught crime?
Sheesh!!
In an act of teenage stupidity, my friend James and I wheeled my dad's car down our half-mile driveway at 1 a.m. and took it on a joyride .Then we decided it would be cool to break into the car wash that James worked at, only to find that it had been broken into already.
So we looked around, and then left. We pulled up to a stop light, which James stupidly stopped at, and then drove through. On the other side ofthe highway we hit another light, and a cop lights us up from behind. I thought we were going to fracking jail. No license, stolen cars, just left the scene of a crime...
"Look guys, I know it's late, but you still have to obey the lights...thanks."
That was is.
I almost vomited (threw up a little bit™) all the way home.
If someone every tallied up all the pot and hash I smoked in college, I'd probably be indicted for trafficking. Whoopee.

That reminds me of my older sister who has NEVER had a speeding ticket because she has always been able to flirt/cry/whatever her way out of it. She was even doing 90-100MPH on the highway once and all the cop did was pull up beside her and make a hand motion to slow down! This is a woman who has "the gift" for sure! Thinking of my past tickets, it makes me so envious sometimes....
I am the most boring person alive! Never really done anything too crazy or illegal. I let my older brother be the wild hell raiser while I was the mellow level headed one.
After being investigated by the DoD for a security clearance my boss told me the investigator had 2 comments.
1: I was very boring
2: My friends needed to get me a girl
