Oops, I forrgot about that. As soon as its turned on, even if its a dumb phone and isn’t pinging while its “sort of off” and acquires service, there’s a location record. That’s why the Burner of the Month Club is so popular. Who cares if its located if you don’t know whose it is?
Although, with effort, I bet it can be tracked back to the point of sale.

YEP!!! Burners are fine, UNTIL you call home, or someone you know. I (stupidly) figured that I had a great scam going decades ago when I had a hot phone credit card number. Used it to call people I knew, long distance. The police called them...and THANK GOD they covered for me. Daaa!!!
Burners MAY work, but only if the other side has a burner and they are NOT HOME (or some place similar). But what you say is also true. Buy a burner, but smile as you pay for it with cash, since your picture is being clicked, and then likely your license plate, as you stupidly drive to the front of Walmart, rather than away from the store. They know who you are, since otherwise they’d force you to register it.
But it does make their job that much harder...so they likely won’t waste their time with you if you were just going with the crowd in their attempt to hang the portrait of “Wood on bed” in the Capitol Building. But if you tried something a bit more ‘aggressive’, you had better cover your tracks well, really well.
