I remember reading that a previous Vice story about Naomi Watts published off-the-record details that put her at risk from the Chinese government.
Fucking over sources for no particular reason looks like a trend with Vice reporters.
My friend whose work requires unofficial access to places has a collection of outfits for most cleaning companies that operate in the area.
Why do people write things like this. Aside from being crass, that is literally the definition of an overstatement.
I carefully and quietly walked into an academic building with a pair of bolt cutters and walked out with a pair of bolt cutters and an iMac hefted under one arm (having relieved it of its lock-cable) and nobody seemed to even notice. That said it was my actual job to do this- but I could have been anyone with a pair of bolt cutters!
My dad used to work as a technician for a company selling expensive hospital equipment. He says there are countless times when he or with another colleage would go in any hospital and roll out such a device. Nobody asks any questions. At my university there were some actual thefts like this. Someone stole a beamer from a high ceiling in the middle of the day. And another time someone stole a heavy (=unliftable) new s…
I used to knock about on a Friday night (also in Melbourne, funnily enough) with my Canon 1D with a 24-70mm lens and the EOS flash (430?). I’d walk right to the front of the line of any club, with my mate, mumble something about shooting for the local music mag, and they’d wave us straight in. Never got one question.

way to ruin it, guys. a high-vis vest only gets you access to anything because not everybody knows that trick, if Vice starts publishing articles about it it's not going to work for much longer.
His surname was also interesting being a foreign word for "untrue". I often wonder what he is doing now.
In a related note I normally carry a high visibility vest and a blue hardhat in my earthquake supplies 'go bag' in my car. The hardhat was left over from the Hoover Dam tour (which gave out real hard hats as souvenirs!) and the vest I wear when I'm biking. I reasoned that after an earth quake if I am walking home I don't want aftershocks dropping bricks on my head. Several people have warned me though that if you step out into a post disaster scenario with a hard hat and a vest people will assume you have an official capacity and are there to help. You won't get a chance to walk home.
