I watched the episode with Ray Milland and Robert Culp (he sure did a number of them). Never seen this one before where he is the head of a detective agency. At the end, there's a contact lens in the trunk of his car and Milland asks about it--and Columbo says who knows--it doesn't matter.
Or does it?
How common would it be for a contact lens to just be in the back of someone's car in 1971? Especially when Columbo needed it for his case--and the car not working was so convenient as well.
I am thinking his story about putting potatoes in the exhaust pipe was a way of admitting he did it.

Columbo pretty definitely planted evidence in that episode, and according to this entertaining site, it's not the only time he did so: columbophile.com/2017/05/17/what-happens-when-columbos-cases-go-to-court/ |

In "Uneasy Lies the Crown" Columbo lies to the suspect which leads him to confess.
