As for the last sentence of your first paragraph, I'll ask my daughter about that - she is a Magistrate.

1. No disagreement from me about the assertion-proof bit.

2. If you're seen after dark approaching a house wearing a striped pullover and a black mask, then seen leaving the area with a bag labelled 'swag' over your shoulder then you're probably getting done for the robbery, even though no one saw you actually take the silver candlesticks.
