Who wants a ride in the peeper-mobile?

The personal touch has personal consequences

from here

The story about the attempted compromise of a Tesla factory is surprising to me because of how much trust the criminals placed in their would-be accomplice. Certainly there are other ways to get this done, even if the old thumb drive in the parking lot trick doesn't work. Allowing himself to be not only seen but to engage on a personal, even friendly basis is what did this crook in. This is why anonymity is so valuable in criminal enterprises.
