Im sure the only way you could get away with it is if you:

  • Do it at night so that nobody innocent is there
  • Do not take any cell phone or anything electronic tbh
  • Wear clothing that covers your hair, skin, and anything distinctive on your body
  • Wear shoes/clothes that are very common and not unique, and bought at a thrift store with cash
  • use items that are common and not purchased with any credit/debit/tap cards, and only use items purchased some time ago and not recently
  • put rocks in your shoes to change up your walking/running gait
  • avoid looking at any cameras dead on
  • be quick to reduce exposure time
  • plan multiple entrance and escape paths
  • dont drive anywhere near that location leading up to the night
  • dont have anyone drop you off
  • avoid letting cameras see you on your way there
  • dont tell anyone about it, not even anonymously on the internet
  • dont leave anything behind (especially anything from your own body)
  • dispose of / destroy everything you brought with you in a location that isn't near anywhere you normally go
  • dont use any kind of maps software to lookup the location, unless its free, open source, and can be viewed offline

But maybe even that isn't enough

Thats why you would have to remove/hide anything unique about you

That's why bikes are the most cyberpunk means of transport

Yeah but you would definitely have to dispose of it afterwards

dont leave anything behind (especially anything from your own body)

That line reminded that I heard at some point that it’s not uncommon for burglars to leave behind a pile of their own poop in a place they broke into. Don’t quite recall the explanation, but I think it was something about adrenaline and fight or flight. Can’t find the source right now but if I do I’ll post it.
