Yes but someone young and or inexperienced may not think about or care about the finer points of criminal behavior.I think he was familiar with the house- either cased it out or worked there or got intel from the many workers who come and go there.
But it was specifically his meandering approach and fumbling decisions that stood out to me (and many other LEO commentators I have read/watched). If he was with an accomplice and tasked to help bring her through the front door he sure took his time and acted without a sense of purpose or urgency. He seemed taken aback by the doorbell camera and took a convoluted approach that many people point out. Why not just quickly cover the camera lens with your gloved hand--simple, direct, quicker, and completely gets the job done. Turning slowly then fumbling with some Latanas flowers at the foot of the entry and barely covering the lens while fumbling with your hand is convoluted. Who does that?
There are many disconnects with his get up as well that go with this. And these are practical matters not criminal style points. A mismatched pistol holster for a semi auto, having it loosely tucked in w/o the strap on, almost falling out, putting you at a disadvantage and losing your gun if you had to run? All that approximation of DNA-covering PPE including the cumbersome nitrile gloves yet using a DNA saliva transferring bite light? Yeesh. A backpack with reflective strips when going on a night op with IR cameras around?? There are just simpler and more direct ways to go about all these things and you don't have to be a pro to figure that out.
They obviously put their time and energy into the disguise part of their presentation. The layers of clothing, double masks, double gloves, fake hair, teeth, etc. This was what was important to him. He did not want to be recognized by anyone.
