In that case you should be safe to go out and do some mischief! Or... image recognition in CCTV's might recognize your face and couple it with the fact that you're not carrying your mobile.

Face recognition (even by humans), particularly with CCTV data, has a very high rate of false positives. You might be able to make the case that the fact that your phone wasn't there is evidence that the image isn't really you.

Except that footage of someone recognized as you walking out of your own apartment might be hard to refute.

Plus I only see face recognition (and CCTV quality) getting better over time. Unfortunately.

I don't usually carry it when I go out, actually. I may be unusual.
