I always thought it was stupid unless you're stealing something... otherwise if you just want to look at old abandoned shit you could do it in the daytime and get better pics.
But I was reading a fictional book about night-oppers from Zoklet times. Creepers by David Morrell (2006). They came to their senses and decided to steal some shit though. At the very least valuable antiques? I would like an excuse to go creeping around dressed like a cat burglar though.

Night ops was a cool concept, but the thing you have to realize is the vast majority of that community was under 15 years old at the time, and most of them grew out of it with the exception of a few notable members who had developed real skills in their field (almost all of which are now retired or inactive in the community)
It’s a lot easier to get away with sneaking around in peoples backyards when you’re a dumb kid who can pass it off as “playing army”
Plus, nowadays there’s just too many cameras, drones, kids running around at night, etc for a true “night op” mission anyway. Remember, the whole goal of nightops wasn’t to steal shit or peek through someone’s windows, it was simply to get from point a to b and back without being spotted, nothing more nothing less.

There’s still a community website maintained for the topic with archives and some (relatively) active members.
Pm me if you need the link although it’s really not that hard to find. Mostly historical value though.

nothing is abandoned here. The homeless utilize all pieces of land like the native peoples butchering a buffalo "The Earth gives, and we take only what is needed. Nothing is left to waste, for even the smallest bone holds value."

I think my schoolmates made a spray paint stencil just for night ops.
Anyways I preffered day ops which was just shoplifting.

I would, but itd have to be VERY worth it. Risking jail time for pairs of sunglasses and loose change is not something id do. My friend and i used to do some pretty sophisticated ops.

I want to start exploring abandoned places again, haven't done that since before covid. I feel like I missed a chunk of my youth from long covid and am still mentally ready to take off from where I left. There's so many outfits as well, outfits I never wore because I haven't been leaving the house.

You should watch Irma Vep. She steals the latex costume from the movie set and goes breaking into people's hotel rooms and goes climbing on roofs.
