Interesting, never heard of the book, thanks! While it’s been awhile, whenever I ran into that situation earlier on I first attempted to avoid them being aware I was nearby and would immediately leave the area. Once thought had no option, but to politely ask if we might talk for second and let them know not to say anything, which they were happy to do. Soon after for unrelated reasons ended up moving and have not run into issue again. All and all, while whole informant, undercover agent, spy, witness protection, etc - type things are tiny bit similar, having know real people in all those situations and read about others, it’s not comparable to what I am doing. Since those situations might not only end in you being killed, but anyone close to you. For example, once met a fellow who went under cover in well known gang as a journalists, they found out and he was lucky to end up in hospital for months instead of dead. For me, worst case is I lose being anonymous as a hobby.
