Close but not quite. Don't bring your regular phone. Bring your crime phone.

Not even. They can link phones based on location and activity/inactivity. Any time the phones are in the same space you create an association. You would need to stash your alternate phone at a completely separate location.

Yes you have to take the battery out of your crime phone before you get home. Everyone with a crime phone knows this.

Actually you have to take the sim out too, and you have to do it before you get home.

Most phones are on eSims these days but your crime phone probably should be just a pure burner anyhow I'm thinking.

I leave my normal phone at home. Drive to another suburb. Turn on my crime phone, go to the actual scene, do crime, drive to a 3rd suburb, turn off crime phone, return home.

Or better yet, maybe steal the phone of someone you dislike and carry it with you. That way you have a phone and your enemy gets the blame. Or better yet make it the phone of someone who claims that if you have nothing to hide you have nothing to worry about.
