Also, don't sweat too hard because covering/uninstalling cameras like this is misdemenor-level vandalism (don't take the cameras, they cost enough to warrant felony grand theft charges).

You'll have a bond and the bond will be low enough that most bail bondsmen will bond you out on promise of payment even if you don't have someone outside ready to come get you.

If you're caught, you're looking at a few months of probation and restitution. If confronted by police, stay calm, follow orders, "I don't want to answer questions without a lawyer" and "" are all you need to say. Do that an you'll be right back home opening a gofundme in no time.

Don't do crimes though, obviously.
