This expresion is used when you do something bad and you don't receive any punishment at all.
I think the meaning of the phrasal verb "get away with something" is:
The picture 1: to receive a relatively light punishment or to do something wrong and not be punished for it Example: He was lucky to get away with only a fine.
The picture 2: to steal something and escape with it Example: Thieves got away with computer equipment worth $30000.
It is a new phrasal verb and very useful, for example we can say to another person "you won't get away with lying about things" when people try to cheat us.

I think the meaning is: 'do anything without being noticed or punished'
