If by perfect you mean "Won't get caught" then yes. But there will be mistakes and/or clues (no matter how small). The trick is that most people won't notice them or put the clues together.

By the way, this is not so easy anymore unless the crime you speak of is jaywalking or littering. Most money-making crimes now have to get past electronic detection and observation. Even burglars are being watched live on wifi now.

Murder? Try to prove your whereabouts when there are cameras and shop receipts that can place you anywhere. You'd have to include accomplices and once that happens, your chances of getting caught skyrocket.

Accomplices are surest way to get caught doing any crime, even littering.

Only if God doesn't exist, and we both know He does, a man might be able to get away with a Crime as far as mans justice goes, but not God's.

Yea, sure.O.J. may have gotten away with Murder, But his life is in a shamble now,Now one will ever remember him for his College & Pro-football achievements but for his Murder trail and the controversy surrounding it and the events after,all that overshadows his professional career.

Dr. Josef Mengele who was the Nazi Doctor that was a German Schutzstaffel (SS) officer and physician in Auschwitz concentration camp during World War II. fled to South America, where he evaded capture for the rest of his life.

BUT he was never really Free, he was constantly evading capture from the Israel, Though he lived well he was constantly looking over his shoulder,
He may have died somewhat a free man, But He, I know stood in God's presence the moment he died.

Jack The Ripper may have escaped capture, but now has stood in God's Judgment.

It is possible just by the very few examples to escape a crime without being a detective, But one is never really free from it now are we?

Depends on the crime itself, where you commit the crime, how you commit the crime, and how big the crime is. No crime is perfect, some are just too small to waste the time and energy to solve it with the clues at hand. There are ALWAYS clues.

Yes, that's why people believed Sherlock (BBC version) and Will Graham (NBC version) were criminals.

Sounds like a great premise for a mystery novel.
