 It’s not a crime if it’s self defence. 

[Clem H Fandango]

The rap genre is easy pickings. However, this track is superb and all about burglary.

 

 

[YorkshireRed]

Maxwell’s Silver Hammer (The Beatles).

 

Hazard (Richard Marx).

I read the OP just before bed last night and through the night came up with dozens. Turns out I didn't read it properly and thought it should just mention any old crime. So here they are:

 

Stereophonics - Graffiti on the train

As it happens local boy in the photograph (suicide) and a thousand trees (the impact of paedophilia on a small local community) probably fit it better. 

 

Sophie Ellis-Bextor - Murder on the dance floor

A crime against music, this one. 

 

Prodigy - Smack my bitch up. 

 

Usher - Let it burn. 

 

Manic Street Preachers - You stole the sun from my heart. 

It's not yours love, you have to give it back. South Yorkshire mass murderer probably works better for this thread. 

 

The Fugees - Killing me softly. 

 

Pulp - Sorted for E's and Whizz. 

 

Afroman - Cause I got high

 

 

 

 

 

[Trumo]

Fun Lovin' Criminals - 'Scooby Snacks'.

[Trumo]

Body Count - 'Cop Killer'.

Hopefully self explanatory. Ideally you name the song and the crime rather than just post a YouTube link. 
I’ll open the batting with “Suffer little children” by the Smiths which is a cheery ditty about the Moors Murders. 
 

Had to neg about a billion people for not even bothering to read the OP.

“Stagger Lee”, done by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds on Murder Ballads, but originally written a hundred years ago and recorded by loads of people including Bob Dylan, Tina Turner and James Brown was about a real life murderer from St Louis.

"Ideally". And I believe I named the crime too, but whatever.

[Captain Willard]

All the Young Dudes mentions “stealing clothes from Marks and Sparks”. Apparently they complained and Bowie had to change it to “ stealing clothes from unlocked cars” which doesn’t really work as you’re more likely to steal the radio.
 

As an aside I once had a radio stolen from a very old VW golf and on the passenger seat, the thief had left the open VW car manual turned to the page on how to remove the radio.
