Uh, no.
Let's just say I work VERY closely with digital forensics, and let me tell you it's not that easy to recover data as Hollywood made out to believe, nor it is easy to get rid of it (as suggested in popular movies by running magnets along the rigs).
In all seriousness, if you want to be a criminal and not get caught, it's very easy.
1. Open your wireless router.
2. Acquire boot CD or any of the light OS variant (Helix, BART PE, etc...)
3. Perform illegal activities in that environment.
4. ...
5. Profits?
