Back in January last year, David Bond packed a rucksack, kissed his pregnant wife Katie and toddler Ivy, climbed into his Toyota Prius and drove away from home. Nobody knew where he was going he didnt even know himself. One thing he was sure about was this: Im going to leave my life behind and disappear, he said.
A 38-year-old Oxford graduate with a solid if unspectacular career in media, Bond wasnt your typical runaway. But then, you might have said the same about Will Smith in Enemy of the State, or Robert Donat in The 39 Steps two of Bonds favourite films. For Katie, left alone with a toddler, his disappearance could not have come at a worse time. I had to juggle the childcare and work, she says, and I was seven and a half months pregnant.
Bond might never have thought of running away if hed not received a letter, some months earlier, informing him that his daughter was among 25 million Britons whose records had been lost by the Child Benefit Office, along with bank details and other private information.

One of the best is a disguise that causes computer face recognition systems to see your eyes and chin in different places. Those are the two easiest changes to confuse computer systems. Changing hair color, length, facial hair, stance, jewelry, clothing styles, etc. also help a person to get lost.

Gracias muchissimo!
For later.
This has the making of a great “reality TV show.”
Sort of “Digital Mantracker.” The contestents get a short head start and have to stay in the 48 states. The winner will be the trackers who catch runners, and the runners who evade capture.
Put 100K or higher bounties on the runners, and you’ll get some motivated mantrackers. Do the same as a reward for runners who go uncaptured and you’ll get good runners.
De Nada! Yo habla
Que Tiene Buen Fin Dia
I’d take that challenge! Make it a 30 day challenge. Hell, make it a 1 year challenge.

Como no!
It’d make a hell of a reality show.
Es Verdad, tambien
