1. He may have stolen the money.
2. He might have stolen the money.
3. He can have stolen the money.
4. He could have stolen the money.
------------------------------------
Is #3 ungrammatical? Are #2 and #4 the same in meaning? They both have slight or uncertain possibility. Is that right? #2 has slighter probability than #1, doesn't it?
