From Chip Off The Old Clark:

Superman wraps a sign post around Anonymous. Destruction of public property.

Superman tears the door off its hinges when in the chemical plant. Destruction of private property.

Lois (and Superman!) enter into the closed chemical plant. (We clearly see "Closed" signs on the closed gates when Superman is confronting Anonymous.) Trespassing.

In 'Church of Metropolis', Superman smashes the monitor(s) in the secret lair after tracking the bug they tried to plant on Clark back to it. Yeah, they're bad guys, but it's still destruction of private property. He should also get a slap on the wrist for the punny, "Now stop bugging people!" while smashing it. :p

ETA: He also puts his fist through the television in the Planet's newsroom as Superman in 'Don't Tug on Superman's Cape' after he thinks Bad Brain zapped Lois into a pile of ashes.

a. I think the fact that Martha and Jonathan did not warn the authorities about a flying object falling in a field and moreover keeping it, and adopting a baby without proper verification by social services.
b. They went to Shuster field (trespassing).

When Irish eyes are killing : Superman involuntarily killed Patrick with his laser vision.
MJD : Clark in Superman attacks John Doe, got him by the throat (assault).
DLW : a. Clark protects an escaped felon, Lois after helping her to break of jail.
b. Well, not sure that can be considered a theft, but he takes from the attorney Clemmens the case found when Lois "pulled the trigger" that should have been with the other incriminating evidence.

Maybe he did. Maybe he didn't. I thought Patrick just disappeared into a mist.

Maybe, I grant you that we are not sure he died. : )

Okay, I'm trying to clean this up to send to Labrat over in the Archives. While going through the list one more time, I had a few questions (Darth Michael, the new boards really don't like you. It once more deleted some of your comments. Good thing I had gotten most everything prior to the move, except the last few suggestion).

Refresh my memory here, Michael. Aiding and Abetting of what?

Personal note: Superman isn't allowed to use his powers, and if he were human getting involved would just get himself hurt, plus the guy deserved it. I doubt any jury would convict him.

Just double checking my facts here, but wasn't it Cheese from France, Chocolate from Switzerland, and a Pearl from Japan? (Snow from the mountains probably doesn't need to go through customs, does it?)

I don't think that's a criminal offense. We'd have to check with Lynn SM, our resident Pun Police.

Good ones!

Although without a body we can’t be too sure that Patrick is really dead, or just Voldermorted.

Was this before or after John Doe is President-Elect?
That one is already on the list.
I'll count it.

We're WAY past 100, but there were a few more episodes with no crimes listed. Does anyone know of anything else we can include?

I’ve Got you Under My Skin

Virginia - I was thinking along the lines of just holding the guy back or shielding the other guy with his body. No powers involved.

I don't know. That guy was pretty big. I'm sure it would take super strength to hold him and invulnerability, should he get struck himself. (I don't know how the judge expected him not to use any of THOSE powers.)

EDIT: But don't worry, it's still on the list. Just a personal note.

Yeah, I've never been sure if stuff like the invulnerability or super hearing (let's face it, half the time it's involuntary) was part of the no powers ban, or if it was big stuff like flying and melting stuff with his eyes.

Okay, the top 100 list has been sent to Labrat! One more items crossed off my To-Do List! I'm still collecting crimes (by episode), so if you can think of any more, let me know. Here's what I've got so far:

1) Lois - she breaks into Joe the Blow's room and looks over his materials. Trespassing.

Swear to God
1) Clark destroys Lamont's (Leo Nunk's photographer) film using his vision do-hicky (x-ray vision). – willful destruction of property. [Although, being that nobody present except Lois knows that CK=SM and she'd never testify against her husband, I doubt this willful destruction of property would ever make it to court.]

Soul Mates

2. Clark (The Fox) steals from the rich and gives to the poor – robbery.

Brutal Youth

People Vs. Lois Lane

Shadow of a Doubt
