This feels like a good opportunity to remind folks:

If you use a matte black paint over the lens, it's far less likely to be noticed, and could go unnoticed indefinitely. If you visibly destroy, vandalize, or remove it, it gets noticed a lot sooner, making it a lot easier to connect you to the act. You also face lower penalties if caught if all you did was deface/obstruct the lens.

Also, practice your cardio, wear shoes with good traction that fit well, and always have an escape route planned
