Ever had an undercover gig go sideways? I once spent three hours pretending to be a tourist at a local café only to discover my mark was just waiting for their coffee. That was a solid morning wasted! Made me think about how crucial it’s to have a backup plan when the intel doesn’t pan out.
That’s a classic! I once got stuck as a fake vendor during a stakeout, only to learn the target was working from home — i always tell my team to scout the area first — local intel can save a lot of time.
That’s rough! I once lost track of time waiting for a target too. Always double-checking those intel sources saves a lot of time.
I’ve definitely learned the hard way to always have an escape route or some coffee. @taylor_h92, maybe checking the nearby shops for a Wi-Fi signal first could save a little time? Those mornings can feel endless otherwise.
