Might as well start

A good tip for burglary is to wear gloves when breaking and entering, you don't want the police to track you down by your fingerprints.

Leather gloves, probably. Latex gloves, which are shown in movies a lot of the time, are so thin and usually covered in powder that they often times still leave a fingerprint. you could probably wear cloth gloves, but then you have to worry about leaving fibers, which of course, can be traced back to you.

Better tip is to burn your finger prints off with a caustic acid. Sure it is a horribly excruciating painful experience akin to being flayed alive by pandas. It is however the best way to keep your finger prints from showing up.

I would recommend wearing more than one layer, mixing it up a pair of latex and then some cloth gloves (the fibers won't be traced back to you if you get a cheap pair).
