completely the same meaning??

‘The police caught the thief ON the corner of Cascade and Plum Streets’, is correct this sentence??

I supose is the same case as ‘I live AT/ON the 2nd floor‘, isn’t it??

Thanks for your help Michael:D

  That one is different. We use “on” for a floor in a building.
  
  Think of “at” meaning “very near” or “very close to”
