You forgot the clip board. Without the clip board, no one will believe
it.

Agreed. Manhole covers are very simple to remove. I don't even need
any tools. I've removed countless manhole covers to retrieve balls,
frisbees, etc., with nothing more than my bare hands. It's a pretty
trivial task.
Think about it. All anyone would need to do is pull up to the
manhole, set a few orange cones around it, put on an orange vest and a
hard hat, and crawl on in with your wire cutters and bolt cutter.
Guaranteed NO ONE will even question it.
