Back in 2004, before ATM skimming was as well-known by the general populace as it is now, a friend and I were constructing a skimmer ourselves.
We modified the card reader to fit on the card slot. We set up a tiny spy cam so that it would blend in with the rest of the ATM (for monitoring the PIN). We staked out ATM's and watched them to determine how often they were refilled, how many customers used them during peak hours, and how much money each would take out on average.
Man, we were gonna be hella rich. We estimated, conservatively, like a $100,000 return for a single night... Potentially way more... And if we did it at multiple ATM's (most likely in different cities), we'd have cleared a million in no time.
But then, being barely out of our teenage years, we got into some petty rivalry over something stupid, and everything fell to pieces.
I like to reminisce, tho.

How exactly are we defining "arrested"?
I mean, if I count every time I've been handcuffed and tossed in the back of a cop car, I'd have to say dozens.
If we're including being taken into the station and processed (finger prints, setting a court date, the whole nine yards), then I believe there are only two such occurrences. One was a DUI back in 2007. The other was when a friend and I were drunk and were caught stealing flags from atop this one big name Canadian store; also in 2007.
I was especially deviant and careless in 2007 it seems.

Financially, I can't even really remember exactly... something upwards of a thousand dollars... I think maybe around $2k in fines, etc.
I also had my license suspended for... I don't even remember. Six months? Maybe less, maybe more.

Basically I've managed to get rid of the problem through a combination of the following: 1. Learning to say "no" with a certain degree of consistency and assertiveness. 2. Turning phone notifications off entirely at night, and not answering the door at all at night. 3. Setting up all kinds of security cameras and sensors and warning lights/alarms to really show I mean business.
If you stop feeding the wildlife, they eventually stop coming around.
