I used to geocache a LOT years ago, don't do as much now. But it was crazy how much people would ignore whatever weird thing you were doing if you had a high-vis vest, clipboard, and hardhat. I used to joke you could damn-near walk in anywhere and nobody would blink.

I learned that while buying tobacco products while underage.

If you walk in and act like you do this everyday you're less likely to get carded.

Act like you belong

Yep, somebody with a vest like that tried to steal my phone through the bus window, took me by surprise since they make it seem like you are employed somewhere.
