A magnet alone wouldn't do anything. You'd need an active jammer, which would be illegal. Don't F with the FCC :)
Put a dab of caulk on the end of a dowel and touch the lens. That would at worst be vandalism, I imagine.
The messiest part would be not getting caught on one of the cameras before, during or after doing the deed.

R. C. Cars operated by extenders to the antennas, you could have someone drive one around to take focus off of them and have a printout of a human face in high detail.
You have full arm gloves on and you use contacts and a wig just in case. Could also do a full body gorilla suit with contacts in and have a clip on device near your hands that emits a bleach mist so your finger prints aren't there. Like spider man's cartridges but for bleach misting.
Yeah, totally possible to do in an anonymous style, you just need to consider anonymous transport; they have cameras leading up to and away from most places. If they really got their nickers in a wad, they'd ask local businesses and ring cameras for footage. Trying to do something like this is more akin to planning a heist with all the surveillance.
