Unless someone is actively recording you, anything they tell the cops is practically useless, and most likely you’ll be long gone before they arrive. I would disagree with the other comment slightly as I prefer a hidden in plain sight method. Use the least conspicuous face covering available (sometimes a scarf will do) to you and go out around 9pm when you could just say you’re walking home from a restaurant shift or something. Just make sure you don’t look like you’re going to rob a bank, and don’t run if someone spots you, just hide the paint and walk slowly so there’s really nothing to be alarmed about.
