You can learn a lot of useful OPSEC lessons by examining the ways in which people get caught, so I'm just going to leave this right here.

How Three Alleged Tesla Vandals Got Caught

Automatic license plate readers, Instagram captions, and fingerprints.

@evacide For one's personal health and well-being, make a habit of wiping handprints off things for cleanliness. Wear package handling gloves for safety and hygiene. Always wear a mask when not in your home.
For fun research, look into license plate flippers, which rental companies rivet their plates on, and where to buy novelty replica license plates. Also read about high-output IR license plate and interior lights. And how they can be beneficial when integrated into glasses and hats.
@Stinkie
Also, ride bikes, do crimes.

@stib @evacide if you ride a bike it's good to repaint it in black paint. And to use commodity tires from a major brand.
Unfortunately, they are easy to steal, so if you were to wipe it down for cleanliness, and then leave it, say, under a bridge and outside of camera range, forget to lock it up, and walk away, nobody may ever see it again.
@Stinkie @stib @evacide Also, there is a sense of fulfillment that comes from purchasing a second hand bike using cash.
@Pepperbike @stib @evacide or trash picking one and fixing it up! I just did that with a 1984 Schwinn World Tour. Slapped on some Cheng Shin tires, Kool Stop brake pads, dribbled some lube into the cable housing, and it was good to go!
@Stinkie @stib @evacide I did something like that with an old Sears bike from the late 70s. Cost me about $15 at a thrift shop for a very comfortable ride.
