Comment on How Three Alleged Tesla Vandals Got Caught

Yeah, pretty basic opsec is not to drive to the crime scene. And don’t bring anything with you that is not essential to the mission and which might get dropped and be used as evidence.
Wear cheap sweats and a ski mask. Dispose of them all as soon as you can. If cars are involved, use fake plates. Better yet, use bicycles and ride as much as possible off paved roads. And don’t ride straight home.
Even better, wear loose generic clothes like a long black skirt and a baggy long sleeve shirt.
Investigators can narrow down suspects by using security footage to measure things like femur or forearm length. Baggy clothes make this much harder to do, because you can’t see exactly where the joints are. It introduces a lot of reasonable doubt that your defense lawyer can use to tear apart any video evidence they present.
And you can get a cheap used bike as well.
I’m not condoning crime, but if you’re going to do it, give yourself the best chance of avoiding capture.

Oh, and the basic - don’t carry your cell phone/smart watch regardless of whether it’s switched off

it’s rather easy to link a burner phone to you if you don’t know exactly what you are doing. no need for a phone, don’t take any risk.
