That's a totally different phenomenon. It's not that no-one noticed him, it's that the hi-viz jacket was all they saw. I read the biography of a conman years ago, who said he didn't ever attempt to actually disguise his true appearance, he would just add one very memorable feature, from a crooked nose to a large zit. When asked to describe him, that one feature was all people could really remember.Hi-vis is so commonplace nowadays that it is disregarded to the extent of uselessness. Someone robbed an auction room near me a few weeks ago, relieving it of over £300,000 worth of jewellery. What was he wearing to go unnoticed in his approach and escape? Yep, a hi-vis jacket.
