#2: Initial revision
Not online. - Try a writer's group, where it is _absolutely and explicitly clear_that you are discussing this in the service of a story, and where other folks are discussing things just as potentially problematic. - One writer I work with is writing a crime story and actually paid a retired detective as a consultant to make sure she got her details right. She interviewed him extensively and went over her story bit by bit to make sure it was feasible. - You also might find true-crime books (or blogs?) to be useful, where someone else has already put down the details you need, and you can adapt as necessary. John Rogers, one of the creators of the late and much-lamented _Leverage_, sometimes jokes on his [blog](http://kfmonkey.blogspot.com/) that the things he'd had to research online probably have him on every government watch list in existence, because _Leverage_ was about five master criminals acting as Robin Hoods — committing elaborate cons and crimes to help innocent people.
