Get hired or contracted

Janitors, security guards, computer technicians, copy machine repairmen, plumbers, electricians... and many many more have potential access even to sensitive areas.

Few people will afterwards remember seeing anything else than a man in overalls with a stepladder or manipulating some infrastructure. Look like something normal, expected, easy to ignore.

I love this idea too because it's also simple and timeless, it could work in any country in any century.

Some guy, years ago, was stealing cameras in local subway. He came in, wearing blue workman overalls and carrying a stepladder. Climbed the stepladder, unmounted the camera, took the stepladder and the camera, and walked away. Lots of witnesses. All they remembered was just some worker; no closer description of appearance.

Look like you belong there, wear an uniform that makes you fit some role/category people expect, and few will remember anything about you. "Uniform steals face."

When I lived in London I remember reading about shoplifters wearing workmen's overalls (high-vis jackets etc) so they could hang around shops without looking suspicious. The shop workers just assumed they were meant to be hanging around.
