I'm not sure if you're being facetious, but the fact you would be wthe guy " crab-walking in a sumo suit wearing the Unabomber disguise" is probably going to draw even more attention. Like the tesla vandals.

A recent event in midtown manhattan shows it’s pretty easy to evade surveillance if you can avoid using a car for a brief period of time.

Didn’t he get away on a bike into a park?

In that case the police had a Starbucks register photo with a face, but that kind of slip can also be easily avoided

>[Christopher Null] has himself had to deal with countless annoyances, from American Express dropping his last name altogether, to Bank of America refusing to accept emails from his "nullmedia.com" domain.

I believe the first one but likely BofA refusing to accept emails from his custom domain has nothing to do with it starting with null and everything to do with anti-spam.
