Success

"You see, Constable? It is irrefutable! The culprit can only be..."

You make a fine show of the investigation, […] composing an elaborate lie that ties it all together. When you lay your deception before the Constables, you reasoning is so precise, so convoluted, that no-one dares to pick it apart. […]

Description summary:
After an extremely thorough 'investigation', you put together a complicated but convincing case against an innocent Rubbery Man, who readily accepts the blame. The actual thief gets away with it, but the Well-Intentioned Constable's misgivings are not shared by his colleagues.
