If you drive a popular car, this can be a very long list, but that list has to be culled down to those also owning a .22. and Still probably a rather long list, but not as long as you might think.

I'll use myself as an example. Dark-colored Honda Accord. There are millions Accords out there, and green, black, blue, and grey are not easily distinguishable at night. White male, I'm tall, but people have guessed my height as anywhere from 6'2" to 7'0". There are tens of millions of .22 guns in the country, only one of mine was bought in a store and left a paper trail, there's no gun registry, and even if there was, neither has a serial number.

You're also going to have to get all that mud off your plates, a tricky bit considering any trace could implicate you since 'muddied plate' is easier to remember than the actual number.

Quick hose-down and hit the carwash in the morning.

What about your neighbors, anyone around who might notice you missing? Say a second shifter just getting out?

I have erratic hours. Last week, I was home as early as 3PM, and as late as 3AM, and I'll sometimes crash at a friend's house on weekends.

Are you already in a fingerprint database? What about the tires on your car, the treads of your shoes, you're going to have to avoid mud with those things entirely.
I don't think it's as easy as you seem to think it is.

The fact that I have big feet is the narrowest category, but my shoes are size 13 right now and that's not all that uncommon. If it's raining, footprints and tire tracks aren't a problem, though. Fingerprints don't show up through nitrile gloves, and with thin cloth gloves on over them you'll avoid snagging.
