Can confirm. Used to be a security guard. On rainy/foggy nights, exterior camera lenses tend to get wet and blurry and the cameras can't see shit. They'll be able to maybe tell that someone was there, but they won't be able to make out any significant details. (Interior cameras will be unaffected, of course, so be careful of those.)
Extra bonus tip: wear a disguise! Just a wig and glasses or something can make you look like a totally different person. It may not fool people face-to-face, but it's much easier to fool a grainy security camera picture. And if you have short, dark hair while the police are looking for someone with long, blonde hair, they're very unlikely to ever figure out it was you.
And always leave your phone at home.
Not just phone. All electronics. And your car, which also has a modem talking to every coms tower and GPS at all times.
Yup, pull the fuse on the onstar or use an e bike, motorcycle, etc
Yep. And be careful which ebike or motorcycle.
I know I can completely disable--deenergize from the fuse box--my car's "SOS" modem, but that isn't possible on all cars. Mine is also like 10 years old and I imagine it's getting harder and harder. (It being 10 years old also means there aren't many 3G towers left around for it to talk to, but I'm not taking any chances.)
