Another perspective.
A Mideval thief or even WW1 type Ninja might be able to watch out for trip wires, squeeky boards and such but would not not know what a camera was, much less a small hidden security camera or motion sensor.
They might get lucky and fool some things by moving slowly (such as motion sensors) but would be unable to fool say IR sensors simply because they dont know enough about them.
