OP, people with massive amounts of resources and no scruples just do those things out in the open. Even if someone "catches" them, they can afford to pay the fines.

They haven't gotten to the moon yet, but this year has seen some real progress in the field of ads floating in the night sky. Moon will be next.

Be patient, OP. poo poo drawn on the moon is still far off, but might happen in your lifetime.

Thieves already own the world in the form of government and corporations. It's going to be hard to find a thief who just steals for the love of the game, instead of becoming something like a right-wing grifter until they can just afford to buy stolen artifacts like Hobby Lobby does.

Carmen Sandiego stole all the sick-asses and it's your job to find them, gum-shoes!

There are lots of supervillains. They just figured out it’s perfectly fine to openly commit whatever crimes you like as long as you are rich and/or politically connected so no need for secret volcano lairs and the like.

It happens more than you think. A group stole the Corn palace once, but then returned it when it turns out nobody gave a poo poo.

I'd say let the supervillain write their name on the moon, that one doesn't hurt anyone, and think of all the new technologies we'd get.

The purpose of most theft is so resell the items. Carmen would never be able to resell anything he stole because it was all too famous. To answer your question, it's because there are no thieves who would want to go through the work just to keep the cool poo poo that she would steal.

Right if there were more kids out there looking, we’d see there are heists all the time. Carmen still at it herself, even.

They go unchecked because kids these days don’t know to look for her, so she’s just getting away with whatever

there were those guys who stole 3000 tons of maple syrup from canada's strategic maple syrup reserves. that's definitely on the level of one of carmen's henchmen at least

GUMSHOES someone has stolen all the maple syrup from our neighbor to the North, Canada! Can you tap into your detective skills, catch these sticky-handed bandits and make them turn over a new maple leaf?

Hey, look. Look, if- if you screw me on this, I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine, you rat bastard!
The unproduced 2003 script for a live-action Carmen Sandiego movie would have revealed she was really the granddaughter of escaped Nazi war criminals who fled to South America and was continuing their work stealing historical artifacts. After very negative reception, the project was shelved and the script was later reworked for an unmade Indiana Jones 4.

What we need is a villain with a bit of style.
